I think we could stand for more wisdom all around.
Kids, don’t goof around with something that looks like a weapon. Police can get very antsy about that.
Parents, teach your kids about this, don’t let them just blunder into what could be a fatal encounter. You might not get them any weapons but their friends could have them.
Cops, can you do something like use a bullhorn from inside a vehicle to warn kids that you don’t know whether what they have is fake or not, so drop them and let police check it out. Before the encounter gets close enough that officers get into a “we feared for our lives” situation. There seems to be too much rushing Rambo going on today.
If a cop sees someone with what appears to be a gun, or shaped like a gun, he must assume danger.
The pictures were a bit small, but I got 5/6 correct.
However, I really had to scrutinize, and probably guessed on a couple of them, and I’m pretty sure I’d shoot first and ask questions later.
I’m glad I’m not a cop :O
Just took it and like 1.5 seconds per answer got all 6 corect...
Not law enforcement here.
Dont need to know the dif, if I perceive it as real,it is.
Cops may have a higher standard but don’t think they should.
They sure slanted that... most folks wouldn’t realize the B gun is a Chiappa Rhino (Mateba clone) and looks like a movie prop.
I got 6 out of 6.
Suck report.If Iam being robbed or assaulted none of the guns used would be laying flat on a photographic background...I would be looking down a barrel and didn’t see many views like that??
It’s so sad because when I was a kid we all had at least one gun that looked real and we played Army. I had a 1911 in olive drab with a slide action that worked, not once did the Lynwood, Ca. P.D., or any parent freak out when they saw children behaving and playing in a normal manner. Now because friggin gangs use children to do their killing for them the world has gone to hell.
If it doesn’t have an orange tip, and looks real, I’m assuming it’s real. Been robbed and shot once; that won’t happen again.
Real or fake?
Point either one at a cop and expect to die.
Dillinger broke out of jail pulling a ‘gun’ carved out of wood or soap.
Who in the hell cares if it looks real or fake. In Arizona they assume EVERYONE is Armed, and unless you are THREATENING someone with it, it shouldn’t and doesn’t warrant any attention whatsoever.
Last time I looked ALL Americans have a God Given Right to be Armed.
If you cannot tell the difference between a bunch of kids PLAYING and Real Criminals, then maybe you should not be in a position of any kind of authority EVER.
“You got 6 out of 6 correct!”
Easy test, all but one were colorful and therefore thrown in to slant the results for the uninformed masses.
Only the possessor of the weapon needs to know if it is a fake or not. The observer is the one meant to be fooled. If the observer is armed, and is fooled, you’re dead.
The premise is flawed - Why would a cop, facing an aggressive suspect, be required to carefully scrutinize anything that appears to be a gun pointing at him? No cop should be responsible for the stupidity of suspects in split-second confrontations. Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.
If a cop shows up in a confrontational, emotionally charged situation, you had better not point a gun, knife, stick, cell phone, finger, *anything* at him. Right or wrong, you would do so at your deathly peril.
Not all cops are bad and some are true honorable heroes, well grounded and level-headed, cool under pressure and capable of reasonable discretion and an over abundance of common sense. However, there are a lot more Barney Fifes out there today than we should tolerate and they are panicky, knee-jerky, prone to being hot-headed and spastic. They seem to be forever on the lookout for plausible justification to get “badge-heavy” and go to their gun far too easily (may not shoot, but they are ready to the point of being hopeful). They are experts at “building probable-cause backwards”. You have to wonder, which one is answering your call?
This quiz is easy. To find the real guns, you just have to pick the ones that look like toys.
