Airsoft - First time yesterday

[DustMan]

I bought an airsoft pistol and shotgun from my brothers friend one morning just before my carpool showed up to grab me. I was still excited about the purchase, so while we were driving through my subdivision I took a few shots out the window for fun, hung half my body out to make it theatrical and what not, very visible. Someone saw us, and, like an idiot, I put on my meanest face and tucked the shotgun under the seat....

15 minutes later we got pulled over by a dozen cop cars, all weapons drawn, megahorn blaring at us. They even have this cool technique where one of them walks up with this huge metal shotgun and cocks it once they are within 10 meters of you, the sound is very pronounced and clearly a shotgun, they told me later it's an intimidation tactic.

I got off without a charge, but they told me if I had pointed it at someone the charge is the same as if I had pointed a real gun at someone, so that was very lucky.

Later that night my Grandmother called me and told me that the 5 o'clock news had "dreadfully disparaged me". They came up and interviewed me while I was in the back of the cop car, they were all very excited... until they found out it was a toy.

I try not to get in that kind of hot water anymore. I'm in my thirties now. That's twenties behaviour you're describing.

Yeah that was over 10 years ago, I'm also well and over all that, just seemed relevant to the thread
