Dear Ann Landers. This morning while my 2-year-old son and i were playing in the Park two boys about 6 years old appeared with toy guns. One boy had a toy Rifle and Holster with a Western style handgun and the other had a Holster with a very realistic looking pistol. These boys began to run through the Park Quot shooting Quot at each other while their father looked on. Another your Ster went Over and asked if he could join their game and was told to get permission from his Mother. She must have agreed because the third boy ended up with a very realistic looking pistol that he brandished with glee. Ann this sent Hills Down my spine. I could just envision the Park police mistaking one of the pistols for a real gun and shooting a boy Quot in when i spoke to the children a father about my anxiety he said Quot this is a Public Park and the kids can play with anything they he also mumbled something about guns being part of our american heritage.
