Maybe someone in the industry finally snapped over all of the ungratefulness and endless bitching of anime fans and got an idea from what Justin said on an ANN Cast a couple of months back Twisted Evil

I think so too. A few years ago at a con a cop stopped me in the parking lot outside to check out my prop gun. After confirming that it was a spray-painted squirt gun, he gave it back and said, "Be careful with that thing." Because apparently I was going to squirt somebody to death. Wink

Actually I think it may have been illegal to paint over the orange tip on the gun. But it just looked so much better without it. :/

AFAIK, yes, it is illegal to paint over the orange tip of fake guns. This includes water guns, airsoft guns, painball guns, etc.

Hey now! Just 'cause I've wanted to do it does not mean I endorse doing it!! (Quite the opposite!!)

Anyway, happy it was nothing serious.

I don't think he was telling you to be careful that you might hurt someone, but that carrying around something that might be mistaken for a real weapon could end up getting you hurt instead.
