djg0770 481 Posted December 4, 2012 When someone calls the Police, you can't just not respond, and the dispatcher has to take every call as a face value, accurate account by the caller until the responding unit on scene says otherwise. Wanna bet? Called about gun shots, told an officer would be by. Months later I'm still waiting... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OfcrFek 21 Posted December 24, 2013 The only caveat here that's applicable is "With sufficient force to injure a person". If you take an airsoft projectile to the eye that will certainly cause injury. Certainly the words "You'll put yer eye out" come to mind, but it's the truth. By the same token, the above applies to Powder Actuated Nailers... My Tippmann 98 Custom has sufficient force to injure someone... is it a firearm by NJ's standards? lol. Man, I don't like this state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Combat Auto 174 Posted December 24, 2013 This entire BS-Movement about politicians, and Police-Execs calling out the dangers of toy guns/airsoft is just a pre-configured excuse for shoddy police work. ---In general, if a police person, or any Carry-gun-civilian shoots a child (or adult for that matter) with a toy, they messed-up big, made inacurate assumtions, and need to be held accountable. (Certainly, there are exceptions to this, for example if someone uses a toy to commit a crime, or is somehow threatening someone with a toy.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny you should mention this, I used to work in juvenile corrections, and the VAST majority of kids that came in for armed robbery brandished those during the robbery as an actual handgun. ...and the sad part was most of the ones that did that, didn't know it wasn't a real handgun. Not sure how it wasn't obvious, but they always seem to come in saying they had a handgun, but a few days later say that their Public Defender told them it wasn't a real handgun after all.

mipafox 438 Posted December 24, 2013 What's wrong with that article? Doesn't seem alarmist, states relevant facts that people might not now about Air Soft guns, and gives decent advice. Am I missing something? Simple - New Jersey. The rules and guidelines of responsible firearm ownership apply to toy guns too. Goodness gracious.

Silence Dogood 468 Posted December 24, 2013 As I recall, it is even an offense in NJ to have a FAKE gun (like one of those rubber training guns) on school property. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneshot 45 Posted December 24, 2013 Just more proof thats it's them ( LE) versus Us. The unfortunate fact is that the Government and LE have made it this way. You are not allowed to be a child anymore, God forbid you play army or cowboys and indians you will be drawn and quartered by LE and the douche nozzle legal system. There are very few LE that are part of the community they patrol rather just enforcers of ridiculous laws. Eff NJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen this? http://www.policeone.com/police/products/press-releases/6188461-PoliceOne-com-Releases-Survey-of-15-000-Law-Enforcement-Professionals-about-U-S-Gun-Control-Policies/ The survey, which was conducted in early March 2013, received 15,000 responses from law enforcement professionals. It found that the overall attitude of law enforcement is strongly anti-gun legislation and pro-gun rights, with the belief that an armed citizenry is effective in stopping crime. Response percentages varied only slightly when analyzed by rank and department size. Eff NJ Amen. Can I get an Amen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 889 Posted December 24, 2013 more kids ought to be out playing army and such, more parents need to educate themselves and take more interest in what their kids are doing.
