Fake guns banned in Downtown Las Vegas district, but real guns are OK

Authored by vegaschanges.com and submitted by jackie_o_

The Las Vegas City Council on Wednesday unanimously passed a bill to ban toy and replica firearms in the city’s entertainment district and on the public sidewalks bordering the area. This includes the Fremont Street Experience and Fremont East Entertainment District. It also bans the display and use of actual weapons including swords, knives, bows and arrows and flame-emitting devices. Real guns are still permitted with some restrictions.

In doing so, it becomes the latest valley jurisdiction to bar imitation guns in a state where it is legal to carry the real deal unconcealed. In October 2012, the Clark County Commission, which has authority over the Las Vegas Strip passed a similar bill.

The fake gun-free zone is bounded generally by Main Street to the west, Ogden Avenue to the north, Seventh Street to the east and Carson Avenue to the south. Violators can be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine, according to the bill’s language.

I mean I kinda get it. If they see a gun, and respond to a gun, they don't wanna shoot them and find out it was a toy/airsoft/pellet gun.

EDIT: First gold! Thank ya stranger! First silver too! Y'all are too damn kind <3

It kinda makes sense. There is the second amendment and all that. People can open carry if they want for the most part. At least if they ban fake guns, you know for certain when a gun is real.
