rights. (matt)t) it's a aut guns which are nono always locked up and put away. amanda goodman, from our sister station, kwwl-tv, in waterloo, has the story.

there can be an accident. no ammunition, the gun's not functional. cause it's an actual weap." he will hide it in this room...but the big question - will one of these kids - one of their babies - pick that gun up. we asked the moms about it. "she's never been exposed to a real one. i'm hoping she doesn't stata now. what do you think? i don't think so." "do i think he'll pi it up? absolutely. ethan has grown up with them. rifles, handguns locked in safe. we taught him to respect. guns don't go off themselves. you have to pull the trigger." "do you think she'll pick up a gun? i hope not. i'm pretty nervous. i don't know. i'd say no." "i don't know if she's going to think it's a toy squirt gun. i'm curious to what her reaction

to stay away." "do you think they'l'lpick up nervous." "do you think your son will pick up that gun? yes. i absolutely do."

before it's in the hands of another child. "oh! oh my goodness! oh my god!" not only does this young boy pick up the gun - he points it right at this little girl - right at her head...he points it at another young girl. "he's s ooting my daughter. he's pointing it at her." the gun changes hands again...and again...it's waved in the hair...it's pointed directly at one another. lt. mccelland says this is typical behavior, "that's typical for young kids. curiosity. everything is a toy in their world. unless we educate them and let them know sometimes it's not." the experiment is over but the curiosity is not - take a look at when i walk into the room... "olivia!" this young girl walking towards

the gun pointed right at me... "what is that? a gun? can i have it? no!" it's time for these young kids to come face to face with a police officer - and their moms. "who found the gun first? you did?" "i"iidn't think it was real." "i think it was just a toy." "this is a real gun...it's a real gun." this was a test...an experiment...but it quickly became very real for these parents... "worst case scenario, he could have shot somebody if that was a real gun. to be a parent on the other end...pretty terrifying." "we haven't had that conversation and he was the first to pick it up. i'm scared.

me. wh to do and what not to do." "it's'sade me think about a a lot more. watching that gun being pointed at my daughter, that's scary...pointing it at you. you just never knew." there were just two kids who did not pick up that gun - but on this night their moms, are still very much shaken.
