Martinez Police Officers located a vehicle that had been stolen from a home in Concord over the weekend.
The driver, who police have not identified, was detained and officers found a fake gun (pictured above) inside the vehicle.
At first glance it was unknown if this was a firearm or a replica firearm.
No injuries were reported and the vehicle was returned to the owner.
.
Simply possessing a fake gun is not against the law.
.
Yeah, but,
possessing a fake gun that looks real can get you shot, by forces good or evil.
Looks real
I’m curious to know what kind of vehicle it was.
If it resembles a gun and someone says they thought it was real during the commission of a crime you can be charged the same as it being a real gun. One time I was arrested at gunpoint (multiple gunpoints) by the Clayton police because someone said they saw me pointing a gun at somebody.
Long story short it was most likely me pointing a BB gun at my buddy jokingly and someone walking by saw it. Officer Rich Enea’s dad was so sad when they had to let me go because they had nothing to charge me with. The officers were high giving each other after they arrested me. I was just laughing at them like what the hell are you talking about?
I almost shot a woman who pointed a BB gun at me, it was dark out, very poor lighting. It would have been a justified shooting, I own her soul.

Good thing it wasn’t a prop gun
Or an innocent person could get a Baldwin
So what’s the big deal here, toy guns don’t make a story, the stolen vehicle does.
You can buy toy guns love me that inany stores still today.
This toy gun shouldn’t have even been a part of this story.
Why would you want to possess a fake gun in the first place? To pretend its a real gun?? Why.
This looks real to me and this person who would make the mistake of showing it off or in a crime could easily get shot a killed by someone yes, good or evil.
Because even flashing a fake gun at a suspect that’s about to possible do harm to you can thwart the attack and I’ve know it to happen, and if the suspect happens to grab the fake gun from you it’s not gonna be used against you.
Kida like fake boobs, why would anyone want to possess them? Yeah exactly.
Looks like an airsoft gun to me, that shoots plastic pellets. Had one many years ago looked almost exactly like that but had an orange tip, that this person likely removed.
Show us a picture of the car.
Did anyone else notice that the suspect was detained for stealing the car It did not say that He was arrested and booked into jail in Martinez for stealing the car He was merely detained He may have been arrested after being detained but I highly doubt it . It used to be when You read about someone stealing someones car or truck that they would be arrested for it . To Me stealing a person’s car is a very serious crime and should be punished as such. A car to a Man these days is like a horse was to a Man a 100 yrs ago And when they caught em back then they hung them Wow things really have changed!
If it looks like a gun, smells like a gun-full punishment to be given to them.
Would not be surprised if Becton and her crew are advising all the criminals do keep a fake gun so that they can get off (not that they don’t already all get off) as they never get the punishment they deserve.
Just puts the rest of us and LE in danger every minute of every day.
Its a real Glock js
