Traffic Stop by Aylmer Police on the evening of February 14th, 2022
The message is simple: Police cannot tell if your gun is real or fake. Avoid a confrontation. Do not show an imitation gun in public or leave in vehicle.
What is an imitation Gun?
An imitation gun is a copy of an actual firearm. Sometimes a fake gun is indistinguishable from a real gun because of the attention to detail.
Imitations can include:
- Airsoft, BB or pellet guns
- Replica or prop guns
- Paintball guns
- Toy or novelty guns
The above gun was located by Aylmer Police officers on a traffic stop last evening at 9:45pm.
The above is a real .357 Smith & Wesson Revolver.
In this case the 17 yr old male involved in this traffic was educated on ways to keep the imitation gun out of sight and locked in a case to prevent misunderstandings, accidents or theft.
