If you remove the orange tip, you’re basically asking for it, especially since cops are trained to be trigger-happy these days. I wonder what would happen if you painted the tip of a real gun orange? Doesn’t matter I guess. They’ll shoot you if you point a cell phone at them.

If I painted a pipe black and held it like a rifle at a cop...i’d expect to get shot if I didn’t comply. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

So, do you smoke illegal narcotics the way you do say, salmon?

There was one in Detroit a couple of years ago where the cop shot a teenager in the hand. The kid was playing around with a toy gun and the cop happened to see him point it at another kid’s head.

Lets face it, these days brandishing any weapon around Police officers
in the line of duty can get you killed. Brandishing any firearm "toy or not"
during a dispute call is just asking for it. That man is lucky it was only a leg.
Disguising a firearm to look like a toy would be a state by city issue.
And probably earn you a well deserved face plant in the concrete if
a Cop catches you with it.

I guess if it was medical marijuana it would be legal.

Any toy gun that does not have the orange tip gives a officer the opportunity to shoot and kill anyone from toddler to adult and be praised by his department for it. I suspect that goes for cell phones, too. Many people have been shot for holding cell phones without orange tips.

Was thinking that marijuana is too inclusive since the headline had “illegal narcotics” which a much broader term. Just saying. Should have used the Latin definition: WackusWeedus.

John Dillinger used a soap bar carved in the shape of gun with black shoe polish on to fool an entire jailhouse full of police so he could break out.

I wonder what would happen if you painted the tip of a real gun orange? I suspect that, by and by, we will find out that the orange tip is itself justification for gunning down a child after the first time a killer uses an orange tipped real gun to shoot someone.

And the fake gun didn't even look real. Dillinger was a real killer though
and I doubt anybody wanted to call his bluff. He deserved what he got in the end.
