I never "play" with my guns. although I have been known to get one out for no apparent reason, and thoroughly "inspect" it and then very carefully wipe it down to make sure that there are no finger prints left on it before I put it back.  But I would never dream of playing with one of my guns.   ;)
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

Absolutely......though I don't think of it as playing.....I call it training.  I will clear a firearm and then walk through a scenario in the house.....as if I had a home invasion.  I think of many scenarios and clear the house appropriately.  I always make sure the blinds are down and the doors are closed so the neighbors don't freak out.  I believe preparation and practice will pay dividends if I ever need to use it.

I will also practice proper draw technique with my sidearms....again in the heat of the moment if you haven't practice you are likely to falter.....this could mean a self inflicted wound.

To quote the USMC "This is my rifle this is my gun this is for fighting this is for fun" You could be asking a personal question :-)
However where you mentioned pistol I have to answer that yes on a regular occasion I also wipe mine down and even strip it down for thorough cleaning even if not fired since last time. Have the wife handling the revolver (S&W 686) lately and practicing her sight picture.

I like to stage them all like a rock concert with the pistols singing to the rows of rifles. Although my display is pretty segregated since I don't have many black guns.

I clean it frequently. I tend to do it slowly, so that it's not over so quickly. A little lubrication, work it back and forth. I want to make sure it continues to function properly well into my advanced years.  8)

  i did not want to mention everything cuz of shock and fright.  i also have guns hidden in the house in most every room and not in one spot.  one is in a cut out book , one in a sock , one in a hunting vest, one in a tool box, etc.  they are all away from where kids can get them.  mike w
