Pellet Guns Put Police In Action

Friday, October 31, 2008 07:08 PM

Prince George RCMP say replica guns, or pellet guns could cause serious problems. Earlier today, they received a call about a person in full camo with what appeared to be an assault rifle slung over his shoulder in the downtown area. The male also had a pistol holstered and strapped to his leg.

Police responded immediately and directed the 23 year old to take a neutral position, which he did. The male was arrested and two weapons turned out to be pellet guns. Police say it took a very careful examination to tell the difference from the real thing.

Police are concerned that not everyone might take such a close look, and the results could be tragic.

Not everyone?

Who do they think it is that may not take such a close look?

What a stupid statement!

Could be a few people. Could be gang members thinking someone is looking for trouble, could be police thinking those are real firearms, or it could be some homeowner worried about getting shot and reacting first.

Apparently he likes guns, not girls...

"Police are concerned that not everyone might take such a close look, and the results could be tragic."

I agree...just the other day, I saw a guy holding his finger and his thumb out like he was pointing a gun, so I wasted him.

Better safe than sorry.

Just kill everything that scares you.
