CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) -
Orlando Lowery was in court this weekend for allegedly painting his .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun to look like a toy.
Lowery, 23, was arrested in the 9500 block of Wayne Avenue where officials found him armed with the gun.
Officials believe Lowery purposefully painted the gun red to mislead law enforcement into thinking it was a toy gun, according to Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil.
Nine grams of crack cocaine were also found on Lowery, according to police.

way to go crack head add a charge of illegal modification of a firearm to your indictment.
It’s not like they will shoot you for pointing a toy gun at them or anything.
I would.
Point anything resembling a weapon to an officer, a home owner, a store clerk, a bank security, or an air marshal... you are just itching to meet your maker.
I hope they throw the book at him for it.
The red paint actually helps to point out that there’s something in his hand.
That nine grams of organic medication was (a)for a sick friend. (b) was planted by the racis cops of Cleveland, (c) the gun was a toy!(d)Orlando is turning his lfe around and becoming an artist. The colors were beautiful! He was bringing it home for the kids to play with.

I actually predicted this on FR a couple of months back.
Ahhh another peaceful Fergusonite / Islam recruitment candidate
Those guns are available painted like that from the factory.
Same for other high quality guns like Cobras and Lorcins.
It's illegal to paint a handgun?
Could you please point out in the USC where it says that?
GUN WEEK newspaper predicted this back when the Brady Bunch convinced the US that red tips on toy guns was needed.
Not federal but at the state level there are such statutes.
He could also run afoul of any CCW laws that apply to the area.

Any such statue would, of necessity be extraordinarily vague. Any lawyer that would allow his client to be convicted under such a statue should be disbarred. I'd still be interested in any specifics that you might know of. I would have to wonder where the 'Hello Kitty AR-15' would fall under such a law.
I do not trust any official elected to office to “faithfully uphold the Constitution” as they are sworn to do.
It is public opinion that drives them, not the letter of the law.
As for the Hello Kitty AR it would get special treatment: most likely Patriot Act - Terrorism. Although exactly who would be terrorized is debatable.
