Actor Could Get 10 Years for Using Prop Gun Without Permit

http://www.newser.com/story/222497/actor-could-get-10-years-for-using-prop-gun-without-permit.html

The actor had a prior felony conviction.
The prop gun was a "pellet" gun, what ever that means.
The State is New Jersey.


In Hollywood they have prop guns without any holes in them - essentially "blue guns" for actors with legal problems. The big armorers know this and are prepared for it. My guess is the actor didn't bother to mention his conviction to the armorer.

Even so, it's a pellet gun and not a real firearm. There are actual criminals who commit violent crimes who receive less time than that.

Excessive and unnecessary.

If he's an actor, with a fake gun, shouldn't he be put in pretend prison??

Technically it is a firearm. It fires a projectile. It is, however, not deadly. And it's CA... didn't expect it to make sense.

In a perfect world, the guy would maybe get some community service and/or a fine. There are rapists and murderers who get less than 10 years - hell, who even face less than 10 years when going to trial.

Not unnecessary!
If you are a political hack in NJ its absolutely necessary! Have to keep the herd in formation and lockstep, can't be bothered with constitutionality and certainly can't allow the peasants to think they're free!
Boy, that's a lot of superlatives! Really PMO! I remembered, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. That's an evil government and you couldn't drag me there with buffalo!

BTW, a pellet gun is considered a "real gun" in Portland too! Probably more than 50 yrs ago, my dad and mom and I were shooting pellet guns in our basement! Knock at the door, it's the cops! They were cool about it, but informed my dad that it's illegal to discharge a pellet gun, even in ones basement, in the city limits! They said that this was a warning and if it happened again the pellet guns would be confiscated and we would be subject to arrest!
We were astounded! Seems our neighbor, "Bubblegum for Brains" my dads pet name for him, turned us in after hearing shots!

Oh man, I'm off to the range right now but this is begging for a philosoraptor meme!

We had a similar incident back in Oregon City in the late 70's. My friend and I were out shooting in his backyard and some of our BB's left the property and were hitting other stuff. Police officer walked up to the gate and we got to sit down with him for an hour while he lectured us on the evils of BB guns. He didn't confiscate the gun, but we did lose out on one of our favorite summertime pastimes.

Actually, if you read the local laws around the state, you'll also find that it's illegal in many places, such as Portland, to even shoot a damn slingshot.

I tell ya, we're a damn nation of thumb-sucking p-whipped babies!

We could all think of a better way to expend our tax money than this way.
