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.
