Will toy guns work if you just want to scare people for self defence purposes ? [I Hate Guns]

If it's realistic and you chop of the orange tip, sure thing.

Not if the other person has a real gun.. Drawing a toy gun on a person with a real gun will most likely see you shot down and the other person will be able to claim self defense..

Tac Toys Gel blasters are sold as toys yet they look real enough that people have been robbing petrol stations with them.

🤣 You would probably drop that too!

Sometimes, but why risk it?

Nope not a good idea .... especially in the usa 🇺🇸

Try it and see.

Having no gun is the safest form of self defense.

😬Best check for badges first

Only if it looks real

No lol if they already know it’s a toy gun

Pew...pew pew pew 👉

Not a chance. Just think about your question. If you feel the need to defend yourself or someone else against imminent harm do you want to be helpless or bluffing? Or would you prefer to be equally or better armed than the one that is threatening you? You want to scare someone who has already chosen to prey upon you?

A toy gun would probably get you killed.

It’ll most likely end badly for you. You never want to use a toy gun to “scare” anyone as it’s often resulted in an unknown third party calling law enforcement and or even drawing a real weapon and using it in a manner that would result in harming or killing you. Brandishing a realistic looking weapon is not a good idea for any reason. You need to reevaluate your situation and use logic instead of making a decision that could likely get you killed.
If you hate guns then don’t even pick up a replica/toy gun etc. Leave that responsibility to people who have been trained to handle firearms.

No, toy guns have to look like toys by law. A replica may , but if you are going to draw a gun it should be a real one.

If you feel the need to draw a fake gun you better be prepared for the real world results. Better carry a real one and not need it then need it and not have one.
My training has always taught me if your drawing a weapon it's not to intimate its for the use of deadly force. Unless it's less lethal pepper spray/oc spray.

How did I get involved with this group? I must have been trolling some post. But that is the dumbest idea I've heard.

You may get your collar felt.

Nope!
Sometimes you have people crazy enough not to fear a real gun.

That's one way to get shot when you could've just gotten robbed.

That will likely get you killed. Why not buy a taser or pepper gel? Something that works.

some people get violent when they are in shock
you may get hurt

It will likely just get you killed

Pull one of those on me and you’re most likely going to get shot

It only works if the criminal doesn't have a gun, otherwise, you're screwed.

They work well enough that the police have shot folks carrying them.

Why do you hate guns? What did they ever do to you? Do you have any balls? Dumb question…
