“Although a novelty, it will create unwanted scrutiny from law enforcement or whoever uses it,” authorities said.
“Regular citizens will see it and call 911, and then law enforcement will respond accordingly for a subject with a gun call,” authorities added. source
Officials went on to say “someone could potentially get shot depending on their actions when LEOs (law enforcement officers) respond.”
