The only down side to this is that painting over, or removing, the brightly colored tip on a toy gun violates Federal Laws.

Aww, man. I'll go as the dude with binoculars and the utility belt I guess.

I love the costume, I have a son at college who still ask me to make cotumes. He would be suspended for bringing even a toy gun to college.

Very true! You could make a backpack sized fake field radio, or even a piece of PVC pipe to look like a "Bazooka".

Yeah, the nation wide ban on guns on campuses is a bit useless. If people (as long as they can legally own it) were allowed to have a firearm on school grounds it would be a deterrent for homicidal maniacs. When someone wants to inflicts massive amounts of damage with a firearm they go places where no one can fight back, i.e. where almost no one can even have a firearm, such as schools. Oh well, this is only my opinion.

I totally agree with your thinking about carrying firearms at public places. I might even push for making it  legal on airlines. It will make Al Queda operatives think twice before trying to hijack a plane!

Ha-ha! Very much so! It might sound "scary" to someone who has no idea what responsible firearm ownership means, but it's nice to hear someone else who is like minded!

I am not opposed to guns especially since we had someone break in and kill out dog some years back. Yet I can for see people perhaps getting killed accidentally because " I thought they were an intruder". I am sitting on the fence. On the flip side I did make my son a cool jack in the box costume he is a resturant spoke person but not well known outside of st louis area.
thanks for sharing your great costume, Someday I might try it on a small scale grandchild when i have them.

Yeah, cuz that stops the gang bangers from putting ORANGE/RED tips on their REAL guns in LA.

Dumbest law on the planet.

This is an awesome '-able, with the GREEN gun and all...
Oct 5, 2010. 9:18 PMKingOfCatfish says:
No, the reason that this law was enacted was because toy guns have the ability to look quite real with out these brightly colored tips, and this has caused people to become injured and even killed. I agree that people should not be so stupid that they point a toy gun at someone who they do not know or that has a real firearm (i.e. a police officer), but this is still a Federal Law we are dealing with. If laws are seen as unfair then there is a procedure that is to be gone about to have them changed, not just blatantly break them.

More likely the storm trooper cop shot the kid 'off the cuff' and then lied saying that he pointed the EFFING TOY GUN at him.
Too many cops do harm and get away with it.
Oct 7, 2010. 5:48 PMKingOfCatfish says:
That was just one example, feel free to research this further, it's an old law, from when toy guns were still made with metal.

Ha-ha! That's a new one.
Oct 5, 2010. 11:02 PMdc0de says:
Right... cuz you never speed....
Oct 5, 2010. 11:02 PMdc0de says:
Oh, I know why the liberal left enacted these laws, the fact is, they are now being used against the police and others, by real criminals, who paint them on their REAL WEAPONS. The police then do NOT react, seeing the bright orange/red tips on these weapons, and are then surprised by a hail of real gunfire.

Great Law... no one would EVER suspect that....

Stupidity knows no limits...
Oct 7, 2010. 5:50 PMKingOfCatfish says:
Oh, and people can be quite stupid. Someone does something stupid, they get hurt, then hire a lawyer, sue someone, then a politician makes a law about it.
Oct 7, 2010. 5:47 PMKingOfCatfish says:
I agree that these laws we're enacted as a political move, and with out regard to the police officers.
Oct 20, 2011. 8:51 AMtobybirch007 says:
There is no law requiring orang tips on toy guns. Manufacturers do it on their own to limit their liability.

Nice work!  I'm concerned about painting the pantyhose though since it's going over your face.  Did you try out the regular green pantyhose you can get for peter pan, robin hood costumes?
