All great information. I learned a lot.
I am going to have them buy the guns from a Mo. FFL. Problem solved as to the legality.
Baseball bats would be great except they can't run very fast.

They watch the news too much, don't we all. Having something, if well trained in safety, that gives them piece of mind, put a price on that.
If I don't feel comfortable with them handling a pistol, deal is done.
An aside. This will give them a reason to come up and visit a bit more
