This has had me thinking before, as more stories come in.
But there is a chilling new angle I hadn't thought of till now.
Think of the scenarios that could come out of the converse. My tool box has at least two different shades of red/orange electrical tape, I'll bet one is close to the Airsoft nose paint.
What if some bangers decide to tape a real Glock 17? It could throw some real monkey wrenches into the OODA process. Might cause a GG to let his guard down.
Edited to add: The deception would be especially troublesome if the BG was no longer pointing it anywhere, acting as if it were a toy.
Moral. These encounters must always be treated as if the gun were real, and the person pointing one your way is a mystery that you cannot guess about. That perp. would have to face the consequences. If he points it at a LEO or weapon permit holder, there is a good chance his career stops right there permanently.
That civil suit possibility is awful to think about, but better than being 90 degrees from everywhere.
Chew on THAT:frown: for a while.
Ya'll watch your 6 and 1-5; 7-12.
