A frightening school lockdown in Regina last month that led to weapons charges against a 13-year-old girl has reignited the conversation about how replica weapons can pose a real threat.
Those lead to "very real" consequences for both the accused and the people on the other end of the gun, he cautioned."If you look at the situation that unfolded in the public school this past week the consequences were very real for families: they were absolutely grief-stricken, worried, upset … learning after the fact that it was an airsoft doesn't take away all of those feelings.
It is difficult for police officers, who often deal with weapons, to tell replicas and guns apart in photos or during intense and dangerous situations, Bray said, adding it's common for airsoft guns, which are easier to get than real guns, to be used in crimes in Regina.
