They really just wrap it in orange electrical tape. I understand that people have been shot for brandishing air soft guns but I find this funny

The orange is helpful, but is not an absolute deciding factor in deadly force confrontations. It is merely one complex component of the "totality of circumstances" in the consideration to use deadly force.

So now the bad guys will wrap their real ones the same way to get an edge. Yea, real smart.

Exactly. I can remove tape from them or add tape to my real guns.

So just another regulation to add that spec of doubt at the worst possible moment.  

Back in the 80s gangbangers were spray painting their TEC 9s orange, yellow, and green to make them look like toy guns.

 

These new regs accomplish nothing.

So dumb

Sweet! I'm going to get orange hubcaps for my Sherman tank and drive it through the Lincoln tunnel. If anyone asks I will tell them is is a Hyundai.

If I saw a kid with orange tape on his airsoft I'd still shoot him and his dog. According to the totality of circumstances.

Exactly John..these guys are not the sharpest tools...but they are tools for sure.

I got a good laugh from that one.

I don't care how many orange marking they have, you still point one of them at a cop will you likely be shot in the face. Alot.

Even if you don't

 

Nowadays.

I think as it stands tape or no tape, leo fear their lives more now than ever. Those few seconds trying to determine if they pull the trigger is crucial. When shit like this does happen, at least from my experience, things go into slow motion. If not, imho, over reaction happens. Outcome can be disastrous either way. And thats on top of what is going on with this racial bullshit, etc etc... I would never want this to happen, but don't be surprised if leo start turning their backs in the infested holes. Or it may be happening already for all I know. What needs to happen is the people in these cities need to educate their own and stop the blame game. Its their faults. Nobody else's.

It may have a down side of - the bad guy can just tape up his gun to make it look like a toy- But I'm thinking the up side would be anyone, cop or ccw holder be released from all scrutiny or liability if some punk removes the markings to make it look real. No makings = You pointed a gun at me, your DEAD. Your fault, not mine.

any violation of law to wrap my guns with orange tape while at the range?

shoot at fort dix, have seen quite a few leos who have a clue.

might make a leo think twice about this bs.

sorry, but hesitation because of color might cost a life, and makes no sense whatsoever -

unless you are a legislator who has no clue. 

What is there for LEOs to think twice about?

 

What makes you think LEOs support this?

 

This has potential to be bad on multiple fronts, all which put LEOs on the street at a significant disadvantage against a savvy bad guy. I doubt you will find a single street level LEO who will endorse this law.

 

The color/partial color of an object in someone's hand is pretty far down on the IFF meter if someone is pointing it at you or someone else aggressively or if they are not complying with commands, making threats, etc...

 

How somene acts and moves/gestures with the object they are holding will determine the lion's share of the decision making process for LEOs.

 

The bad guy holds the cards on how everything goes down. They get the first move and the decision on when and how it ends.
