[quote=Anonymous]I was very surprised to find out that a close friend of mine doesn't not allow her children to participate in laser tag (like for birthday parties).  Her kids are 7, 9 & 10.  In our circle the kids aren't really encouraged to play with guns but if they have nerf-style ones they will shoot at invisible bad guys.  They aren't aiming to blow their friend's head off or screaming "die commie, bastard."  I know in laser tag you are "aiming" for the other person but I just didn't see it the same pointing a plastic shotgun at a friends head.

I realize parents have different styles and I’m fine with that but I thought of her as more culturally lenient – more so than I am in most ways.  This are not sheltered kids, they watch Jersey Shore, have gaming systems (Mario games, no Black Ops), unsupervised internet access.  One child even has the mom’s passwords and checks the mother’s email, facebook, and text messages (on a side note, that drives be batty!).  So a laser-tag ban seems out of character to me.  But is laser tag a general no-no and I was just naive?
