How does one practice force on force if he cannot point at least a non-firearm at another person?
Or is it your position that force on force training is inherently too dangerous.and should not be done?

And are you saying that kids shouldn't be allowed to have dart gun wars, plays cops and robbers or cowboys and indians? How is it that entire generations of kids grew up on such play and still seem capable of handling a real firearm safely?
Those of us that grew up killing each other with imaginary guns and cap guns didnt typically go on shooting sprees 20-30 years ago either
Just watch out for people named Elmer, bunny.
If the 4 rules crowd practiced what they preach, they're entirely incapable of ever cleaning a gun.
When people cook, sometimes they get burned or cut themselves with a knife. Therefore, people should never cook.
I played miles gear more times than I care to count. All infantry soldiers should be dead according to the rules nazis.
Why wouldn't the crowd disassemble the guns before cleaning?
And when children cook we do not tell them to endanger themselves with the knife or the fire. We do not tell them to set themselves on fire because it is hip and cool.
When we tell them to play the mandolin we do not tell them to use their teeth just to be different and to distinguish our mandolin school from the other 300.
And Uncle Sam had immunity if anything happened and there was plenty of supervision.
Our kids don't have uniforms or badges.

A disassembled gun is just as much a gun as a cap gun is a gun or a plastic replica is a gun. How exactly to I take apart a bolt gun or inline muzzle loader to clean it? What if I forget that my gun isn't disassembled and shoot myself in the eye next time? Same concept you're telling us in reference to "gun like objects".
Will some people get hurt? Sure. What's the alternative look like, though? I'd hate to see how gun rights are looking in a few generations if we demonize weapons to the point children are taught its too dangerous to play with toy guns.
Your mantra is failing. You're allowing for exceptions now.

Granted I have never had FoF training, yet. But is it normal procedure for a FoF instructor to be carrying a live loaded pistol while teaching the FoF class?
I take the bolt out of the receiver like you are supposed ta.
I wouldn't let kids do force on force. Childhood should be ingraining the basics of firearms handling until they become automatic.
But then again, that is a call for the parent.
So if I take the bolt out of a real gun, its fine to point at my own head and I'll be perfectly safe. If I point a plastic thing that looks like a gun at my head, I'll forget and do it with a real gun. I'm sure you can see the parallel between a bolt action rifle with no bolt in it and a Glock with a plastic barrel insert in place of a real barrel, a Simunitions pistol, so I won't belabor the obvious.
How does one get shot with a blue gun?
That didn't really answer my question, but it was a great sidestep
How answering your question, not question your question.
