Need suggestions on where to use this to ensure that people won't think my child has a real gun & won't get shot by police? It looks real.

At night, in a backyard, in the middle of nowhere. Or in the house. Only options.

It really does look real and for a child it needs full time supervision .I have a setup to use mine in the basement with targets and a good none rigid large backdrop like blanket to prevent ricochet.

It cettainly looks like a real gun. I was also concerned but we live out in the country so he uses it in the woods, otherwise I wouldnt advise it.

If you live in a urban or suburban environment. Not a good idea. It does look real from a distance. If you live in a rural area where you know your surroundings I think it will be a little safer but it can be mistaken for a real one.

Any safe can be broken into. Banging it your first didn't work for me.It does what it's supposed to do for the price. Prescription meds, guns, ammo, jewelry.Number of times people come here and ask for combination it must work pretty well. :-)

If you buy the think you will see strange "usage" from your kid. It will be used as helmet or storage, sometimes food storage. It is a great tool though!

He would love it but make sure it comes with regular sights in addition to the scope. Scope will NOT stay set without a "scope stop" to keep it from moving when shot. Sold seperately but is 100% necessary if the scope is to stay zeroed in. Gamo sells them on their site or maybe available from Amazon. Other than that $20 add on it is a good little gun and my son has enjoyed.http://www.gamousa.com/category.aspx?catID=2

There shouldn't be any restrictions on this item, it is not a weapon and cannot be concealed. Thank you

We do not allow toy guns and we purchased this game for our children. I see it as very different. They are spaceships, not guns and the game concept is tag. Yes, you can frame the activity as a shooting/killing game but that would be by choice, not by design. I know my answer comes too late for your situation, but as a "no toy guns" parent, my best advice would be: when in doubt, ask the parents before you buy the gift.

Is this a serious question? Sure you CAN, but it would be a bad idea. there is a huge chance a civilian could mistake it for a real gun, and even worse a police officer. your asking for trouble waving it around in public. kids get shot by the police (probably not limited to officers either) because they mistake a toy gun for a real one. before you buy this gun, take a safety class or something because if you are really considering it then you probably should have one in the first place. Hopefully your mom or dad is monitoring your purchases and they have a decent handle on parenting.

I prefer the Sneaky Pete, I can lay it around the house [no kids] and it looks like a book. The same in my car no one suspects that it is a hand gun, it could be a book in fact it even looks like the leather bound bible I carry. Remember according to the Demo's we here in East Texas are bible carrying, gun totting red necks. Not a bad description. Love that

I would suggest not removing the orange tip, as much as it would make the gun look more realistic and fun. The orange tip is there to let the public and law enforcement know that it is a toy, not a real gun. My kids and I play in the back yard sometimes with low power airsoft, and I am always worried not to let anyone see me, an adult, with one without my kids around because it could be mistaken for real. All this said, kid or adult, if you EVER encounter any police while playing, on your property or not, place it on the ground immediately. Police cannot make judgement calls on whether it is a toy or real, they have to protect themselves and will assume it's real even with the orange tip. Place it on the ground, then talk and abide by what they say. They are toys but you can hurt someone and you don't want to give people a reason to create problems for you.

I wouldn't use it to ship my gun. I think you might have a case to visit a local gun store to see what they recommend.

This is better designed to keep people OUT rather than IN, but a toddler would have some trouble manipulating the lock. I'd say it would be about as effective as a child-proof cap on medicine. It'll keep them out until they figure it out. Try a cheap slide bolt at the top of the door.

There is a safety and it does exactly what it's supposed to, but if you're going to leave it where a child can get at it (not a great idea) just remove the magazine (the "cylinder") and the CO2 cartridge and even if she/he gets hold of it and gets the safety off (not difficult even for a child), nothing will happen.

You cannot even get pepper spray except in person from a gun store or... A pharmacy??.Illegal to ship, or order online.I would check your State Laws.I recommend visiting a gun store as they also sell non-lethal self defense items.And they are very knowledgeable about any laws pertaining to self defense items.I would always prefer a non lethal device to a gun.I'd rather them go to jail, and also save me the trauma of "God forbid" using anything lethal.I had a friend have someone walk in front of his car, seemingly on purpose, and there was no way to avoid and not his fault but he was very traumatized.

I dont see that being a problem. it would need to be taped or attached pretty sturdy and it is plastic and i would say it would work, as long as it wasn't roughly handled.. It looks realistic, as we used it for a mafia theme background and was a hit for the party. Hope this helps!

Just point your gun at the house across the street and pull the trigger. There is still room for you in the penitentiary. The government is watching your every move and you are worried about some kid with a toy? Geez. Some people.

The manufacture does not offer any child proof device that you need. It would be up to you to use your creativity

looks real, except where you load the co cylinder - you can see where it screws in. other than that it is a good practice pistol and i think i looks alot like my automatic, i just wanted something to practice with and this fits the bill.
