““These results demonstrate that air guns can cause severe, yet preventable, eye injury among the pediatric population,” explained Dr. Douglas Fredrick. “To reduce rates of pediatric eye injury, both practitioners and air gun companies should promote and lobby for eye safety mandates among all air gun users. Furthermore, changes in state policy to regulate possession and usage of air guns among minors may be warranted to reduce rates of accidental injury.””

NOT GOOD NEWS! But it seems most of the reporting on this study from Stanford University puts the cause properly in the hands of PARENTS in supervision, use and eye-pro… Interesting to see former (??)-airsoft business guy John Steele quoted in the Time article, too… Links to the various parts of the story…most will cost you money, but welcome to today’s Journo-dilemma; TIME Magazine online LINK HERE Wall Street Journal ($$) LINK HERE Stanford Medicine SCOPE website online LINK HERE Science Direct.com’s link to the original Paper ($$) from Rachel Lee and Dr. Douglas Fredrick LINK HERE

“PLYMOUTH, Calif. (KCRA) —Ten-year-old Owen is no stranger to airsoft pistols. He’s knows what they look like, feel like, and how to shoot. But Sunday afternoon while at an airsoft shooting field in Plymouth, he picked up what he thought was an airsoft pistol. Watch report: 10-year-old finds loaded weapon at Plymouth airsoft course “I pick it up, go to give it to the ref or responsible adult and slips, and it discharges,” Owen said….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
There are a number of stories online about this incident…but we like this one primarily because we hear from the 10 year old player and his father…and while they demonstrate the proper gun safety knowledge, the kids involve did end up firing a real gun…”accidental” discharges don’t just happen…and the deputy needs to be held fully accountable. But we also want to start the long-overdue conversation. Should real firearms be mixed with airsoft at any event? CLICK THE PIC to see the story and then leave your comments here….
