scenario...your views?

[twinkles**stars]

How would you react to this scenario?

Driving along a road you see a young boy in school uniform on his way to school waving a gun and knife at passing traffic.

Would you ignore him or take steps to ensure the gun and knife are 'toys' and not the real deal?

That would be up to their parents to decide..... not random strangers.

That little boy may have been showing off a new birthday present to his friends as they went past.....

Which one of these could reasonably be mistaken for operable firearm requiring a Prohibited Weapons Approval? (Vic)

Sorry, that is funny.

Cowboys and Indian costumes are no longer politically correct in the US now. 

No Indian outfits because we may offend Native Americans, no cowboy get- ups because that might require a toy six shooter and it also may offend the Native Americans, whom the cowboys will no doubt shoot, if given the chance.

As I said earlier........poor kids, there is always someone out there sucking the fun out of their lives.

What?  No comment about the imitation firearms laws in Victoria?  That seemed to be the basis of your argument.  Twinkles did the right thing.  Accept it, move on etc.....

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

Why, I am referring to toys?.....

I hope the boys day wasn't ruined.
