The Roxboro Police Department responded to several reports of people pointing what look like real guns at drivers and other people as part of a “gun prank war,” according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.
Police said they “stopped several cars to find young people who admit to playing this game.”
“This (is) a dangerous and potentially deadly game to play,” Roxboro police said in the post.
“There is nothing funny about this game. We urge those playing to stop immediately before you are arrested or prank the wrong person ending in tragic consequences.”

First I heard of it. Idiots. Just a matter of time until you pull a fake gun on someone and have a real one point back.

You point a fake gun at me I will respond…but not in kind. Like I often tell my spouse. “ I can’t read minds”

Call it the Darwin Game, because the winner gets a Darwin Award.

Not that I am aware of!!! We used to point BB guns at cars in the 1950’s when I was young and dumb.. My buddy shot out the back window of a Milk truck once.. Boy did he get in trouble. This was a daisy BB gun not a pellet gun..

There have been several folks arrested in the Houston area for pointing guns at folks on the freeways around here, except these were real guns and not toys, one genius even fired at a guy a couple of times.
But its Houston, and its a sketchy place at times with all of the illegals / gang bangers and the various ward denizens everywhere.

When I was a pup, we amused ourselves by drinking a bottle of soda pop hidden under a brown paper bag while driving about town.
When the cops pulled us over, we peeled off the bag to reveal the bottle and all had a good laugh. Sometimes, the cops weren't amused, but we always were.

This is why you should move to the ritzy part of town, and stay off the roads at night.
