As CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reported, Jack Pawlowski was led out of his Queens home in handcuffs Wednesday, with his stunned wife and three young kids looking on. He said nothing as detectives put him into a squad car.
. . .
Pawlowski told CBS 2 he took a toy gun, and two of his kids, around the corner to Ditmars Park. It was around noon and packed with kids and their parents.
. . .
Another mom who was on a playground at the park at the time said she walked up to Pawlowski, and told him to take the toy gun and his kids and leave.
“I don’t tend to take things lying down, so I went past the parents, and so I walked straight over and I confronted him,” said Leni Calas. “I mean, he’s brandishing a firearm and I don’t care if that firearm is plastic. That’s unacceptable.”
. . .
He remained in custody Wednesday evening, on charges of reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a minor, resisting arrest, and possession of an illegal BB gun.

Nope. Just you...
I learned to shoot archery, that can actually kill you unlike airsoft, in a public park.
Illegal BB gun?
Have you ever shot an airsoft gun? Like someone else said upthread, getting hit with a rubber band hurts worse.
Just as I thought. Airsoft. Not even CO2 powered. Spring powered, plastic pellets.
These are TOYS. You’d have to just about stick one directly in someones eye to do them ANY damage at all.
Witness say that he then he gave it to his daughter who rode around the park on her bike and pointed it at two year old kids.
If you were a parent, wouldn't you be mad?
Here is a picture of the father shooting it over top of the baby carriage. Next to him is his son who he let shoot it. Sorry, I can't defend this guy. He is incredibly stupid.

Say what ???
I’d have my 6 year old Son shoot him back with my much higher powered HK MP5k airsoft clone.
It’s full auto and he loves to shoot it.
I am sure she is doing that right now for a middle class New York lifestyle. Supplemented with several doses of birth control and the odd two or three abortions a decade to limit the expense of child rearing. It is the ‘responsible’ thing don't cha know. Who possibly could afford more than one perfect child?
A Middle Class NY lifestyle is akin to a lower class lifestyle in any other area of the Country. She loves her huge 750 SQ’ apartment that only cost half a million dollars plus a $500 month association and maintenance fee. All to own an empty box of air 100’ in the sky. That is if she doesn't rent a $500 SQ’ apartment for $2,500 mo. In Queens it is probably a fourth floor walk up.
I let my kids shoot my guns.
And they love to shoot.
But I would not let my kids anywhere near this stupid father with his loaded bb gun.
You are entitled to your opinion.
You aren’t entitled to throwing someone in jail for a TOY where no one’s life or property were in any danger under any stretch of the imagination.
Is it illegal to cut off the orange barrel tip of play guns?
I can’t say the guy deserves jail.
But he at least should be beaten with a stick for being reckless and stupid.
Lady, he was playing with his kids... are you an ANTI GUN KOOKY LIBERAL?
I know she is!!
Would you say the same if it were a squirt gun or a sucker dart gun?
They are about equal in “lethality”. They’d also just as equally be illegal under this also illegal NY law. They’d also just as equally cause Liberal sheep like this to bleat in terror.
As ‘Grandmaw’ would say
Don’t point that thing you will put an eye out.
Interesting how many things ‘Grandmaw’ thought would ‘put your eye out’.
Or how many kids were ‘killed’ or ‘lost an eye’ due to carrying a #2 pencil in the pocket, point side up?
Like ‘they’ used to say about pointing a FINGER:
Don’t point that FINGER at me, there is a nail in it!!!
Just another reason to stay the hell out of that commie city. Run by marxists because they want it that way.
Would you let your daughter shoot a bb gun then ride around a crowded park and point it at 2 year olds?
And I don’t believe your statement that squirt guns are equally illegal. Here is the statute. You can see the definitions yourself. http://www.nysrpa.org/files/nyc-admincode.pdf
Please remember.. THEY ARE NOT!
