Around here you could get arrested if you were seen carrying a a fake weapon that looks like the real deal. Let me repeat: A basic rule around here is to NEVER show your weapon until you are forced to use it. And NEVER EVER take a fake, plastic gun to a gun fight at the OK corral. On

Re Foil an attacker with your car key using it to slit their throat.: Crikey! Look, the point of the convincing replica handgun is that no one gets hurt. You point the toy at the attacker, say Feeling lucky punk?, and then casually walk away with a sneer. What's not to like? It's cheap, it
