Police have a tough question for you:
If someone pointed a replica firearm or an air gun at you, would you be able to tell the difference in the heat of the moment?
Would you be willing to bet your life on it?
OPP West Region is experiencing a significant increase in the number of air guns and replica firearms now in police possession after being taken from individuals who may have used them in the commission of a crime
The use of air guns and replica firearms to commit crimes can lead to serious consequences because they’re considered to be firearms under the Criminal Code if they’re to threaten, intimidate or commit an offence.
