Baldwin also pointed a real gun at someone outside the call for gun use in the film. I know better than to point a gun at anybody I am not intending to shoot whether I think it is loaded or not.
It's even a bad idea to point a toy gun at somebody, because the other person (or somebody observing) may not realize it's a toy gun and draw on you.
It's the main reason I never bought toy guns for my kids. Not because I have anything against guns but I didn't want them forming unhealthy habits with guns. On the other hand, I am all for kids getting real guns with the proper instruction on how to handle them.
