In the states everyone and there dog has guns. But in Canada it's far different. Your lucky if you own a rifle. Even that requires all kinds of licenses and registration. It too is hardly worth doing. Would it make any sense at all to perhaps get a fake hand gun. Like a toy gun. And just keep that around. That's if of course it looked real enough. Like I know you can buy bb guns here that you don't need any license for that look completely real. So if you carried that around you might be able to hunt small game as well as look intimidating to others even if you didn't brandish it. I'm talking in a complete system melt down here of course. Like so if you ended up in a bad situation where you're running around having to deal with other stragglers, then at least if it looked like you had a pistol you'd be far less likely to be attacked. Even if the gun was just a toy. Like I said there's no getting any guns up here that's for sure. At best a real gun means a rifle and that's only with tons of permits. Your thoughts?

Personally, I think that is a terrible idea. What happens if you pull it out to try and "scare" someone, and they pull out a real gun?

Is using a fake parachute a possible alternative to a real one? C'mon man think

You would be better off just running away. In a post apocalyptic world, a fake gun may just give a false sense of security and ability to defend yourself. Get the real thing or stick to knives and clubs.

I have a squirt gun!

A gun is not a threat. If you draw it, use it.

Get a sword, for home defense a 20" blade is best. Try a Wakashi I hope the spelling is correct.

anyone who carrys a gun on a regular basis will tell you , you only pull your gun out if your ready and willing to use it, so with that a fake gun would be worthless so no i would not recomend it.

Use chemicals instead.

haveing a fake gun will only get you dead in a melt down,you people with a gun would use them on you instead of just eating out of your frig and leaveing you would be more safe going stealth, more than likely if i see you with a gun i would just take what i want instead of saying please...you would be a thret while i hunt for food for my family..dog eat dog you runing around with a gun would make me stay in hideing and shoot you 300yrds away your a nut that might hurt me im on a hunt get it?

Yep, point a rubber chicken at em.... that Ill do it!

Aside from bluffing yer way into a real one, I cant see any good that would come from it. Although if the BB gun is powerful enough you could kill small game if yer a good shot.

Yet for bluffing purposes, you better be a good liar.

Putting a good plan in place in advance would be a far better choice than walking around waving a fake gun around. Or even a real one for that matter.

Are air guns legal? Theyre restricted like handguns here in michigan if they cant shoot bbs. Lewis and clark carried an air rifle. The small ones shoot 177 caliber pellets or bbs. The pellets are as deadly as a .22. You could also get a 22 rifle and cut it down if the s hits the f..

Of course i have my trusty ar 15...

The only use for a replica is to stick on the wall to look good or as an emergency hammer to knock some nails into said wall

you'd be better off with a blackjack/sword/crossbow etc that will actually do some damage hell even shotput half a brick at them and run makes better survival sense than a lump of useless metal

Can't own a real gun down here in AUS unless you know farmer A who knows farmer B and blah blah.

But possession of a fake gun and brandishing it in public gets you the same charge if not worse..

stupid laws here.. understandable but stupid.
