Capgun Criminal

[newbury]

Sadly urban/suburban know it all self-proclaimed "elites" have an un-natural fear of guns...That being said, I really don't have much problem with the orange tip thing...May help the cops and some of us, maybe. No harm no foul there in my opinion.

But a '60's cap gun, good grief--that wasn't a glimmer in anyone's eye back then--I wasn't either (until the late 60's anyway).

This is what happens when we put todays standards on history.

And what's to prevent painting an orange tip on ANY gun?

That is IF the cops don't happen along after their harrowing experience at Tim Hortons and blow you away. To make sure you are dead even though after the first shots (3) you are down and no longer a threat they will pump another 6-9 into you just to make sure you are dead.

The theory is that a wounded perp can testify as to his innocent intentions while the dead perp is automatically guilty.
ex: Your honor, I broke into the house to use the telephone to call 911 because I was having a heart attack.

Hockey is a dangerous game: Carrying a hockey stick in public can get you shot.

Nothing, it's been done. I saw a news story a while back about painting real guns bright colors to resemble toys, I've seen photos of shotguns decorated with plastic parts to resemble Nerf type guns.

Thanks buckeye, I thought it was a 'pissed L' that didn't want to play and went home.

Toy guns that fire projectiles require an orange tip. Replica firearms do not. Many of them are metal and have the weight of the real McCoy.

Back in the 80s when I was working dispatch we had a robber doing quick stop, stick-up, and gone in a minute hitting small stores/gas stations in this sparsely populated county. victim said he had a "yellow gun"...Yeh...riiiggghhhtt. A week later a town marshal made a stop, searched trunk, semi-auto pistol painted yellow.

Common sense is stupid.
Think about it. All the stupid people who think using "common sense"

It is "uncommon sense" that we all need.
