He wants a Tippmann

My son has been nagging me about getting him a paintball gun . He even knew which one he likes. He liked the Tippmann, he said. One of his friends had them and he said that it’s totally cool. His friend also said to check out the paintball discounters.

I personally don't like the idea of kids playing with guns, even if it's just a toy or even a water gun. So I was in a dilemma. He won't stop talking about this and keeps on asking me if he could have it as his birthday gift. He claims he is practically an "adult" since he will be turning 12 in January.

He never owned any toy gun, that is, until early this year when his grandmother bought him small water guns.

Hi Raquel,
Yup, I think this is for adults only... kaya nga, he claims to be "practically an adult" na since he is turning 12 in 5 months.

Hehe... I bet I'd want one of these too if I were his age. Now while I personally discourage guns even if they're just toys, you'd know best to say yes or not. If he's responsible enough and will agree to your limits, it might be ok. Otherwise, you might want to compromise by just taking him paint balling instead hehe... or lazer tag!

Hi Phillos,
Oh he loves laser tag... that's as far as I can go for now. Paintballing can be paintful and can give your bruises.
