One of my stupid in-laws committed an armed robbery with a pellet pistol. He was caught and charged just as if it were real.

In most places if the fake weapon is sufficiently real looking, i.e. enough so that the victim believes it is a real gun, then it’s armed robbery with a gun legally. Which is logical IMO.

LOL....closer than inlaw....my 3rd cousin put his hand in his jacket and said he had a gun. Got 30 years for that. No gun involved. Could have been shot to death.
