Fake Gun Never A Good Idea

A reminder from Chatham-Kent police this holiday season.

Never pretend you are carrying a gun.

Things could have ended much differently early Sunday morning when police received a call from a downtown Chatham establishment about a man who appeared to have a hand gun tucked in the waistband of his pants.

Police quickly responded and he did in fact have a gun.

A BB gun.

The man turned it over to be destroyed and no charges were laid.

Police tell is if you are transporting a toy that resembles a gun be responsible.

They can easily be mistaken for the real thing and can cause public concern and a priority police response.
