Am I not allowed to bring airsoft guns in public, even for Halloween?

What about plastic toy guns that look sorta real?

If they look real, you will get in trouble. They need to have the little orange cap on the end of the barrel or not be painted all black. I got the cops called on me while filming a project for my film class, and it was gay... The cop was a huge dick about it.

Both the guns I'm considering bringing have orange caps. I'm a little wary of the risks though, even with the caps.

Bad idea in general.

It's not a real weapon, but it's not really a toy either, and shouldn't be treated as such.

You should be fine if you have the cap, but just don't be retarded and yell and wave them around or something.
edit: and, of course, point them at people.

orange caps will protect you from legal trouble, but there is still some risk. If a cop sees you pull it out and he doesnt see the orange and he shoots you, to bad for you.

Realistic toy weapons are seen as real weapons by law here. You get the same punishment for posessing one.

This law doesn't apply in the US, of course. But the moralty behind it does.

Would you really feel comfortable seeing some idiot waving around something that looked like a real gun? Common, use your head.

No one's going to think you're the biggest boss that they've seen thus far just cause you're dressed up as GIJoe or whatever the fuck you're planning.

Well first of all, I'm not going to be waving around a gun, I'm not an idiot. Second of all it's spelled "come on", so I find your statement quite ironic.

Way to automatically assume I'm trying to act tough or whatever you think.

Like 6 years ago I went trick or treating as an assassin and I had an airsoft USP with me with a laser sight on it.

Didn't have any problems, but you never know. Mine def had the big orange thing on it.

It was a lot of fun trick or treating as I would point the gun at them and say FREEZE! when they opened the door, and old people got really scared rofl.

My cousin waved some fake guns around town on halloween before
Believe the cops had some words for him and his parents had to pick him up at the station that night.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Do not run around with a gun, fake or not, and go around doing stupid things like what -orb- suggests. There are literally hundreds of legal issues you could encounter, none of which have pleasant outcomes. For example, if a person panics and then attacks you for thinking you have a real gun (and perhaps even kills you!) they can plead self-defence (or provocation) and get off free (or necessity if they're injured). Or if they think it's real, they can charge you with assault (both civil and criminal). Or if they end up doing something stupid like run away from you and inadvertenly run into a car, you could be charged with manslaughter by unlawful and dangerous act, and certainly with aggravated assault [in possession of an offensive or dangerous weapon]. The crux of the matter is whether the victim thinks it's a real gun or not, not whether or not it actually is real. If your purpose is to scare people, then you're already screwed.

Don't do it.
