I can't find anything either way, it might be worth a call to HPD or a lawyer just to be safe!

With all the Liberal hand wringing about guns I would be afraid to get shot by a over zealious cop.

cool idea
If I had to guess I would say it'll be ok as long as you don't commit a crime with the "gun" or unholster it in public

I don't think their is anything illegal about it, because it is not a firearm, however, if you somehow end up in a situation with law enforcement, I'm sure they will treat it as an armed individual and proceed forward in that manner until they can verify and assess the situation.  If I was the officer responding to a "looks like an individual carrying a firearm" I would treat the situation as if it was one.  I guess this can be a "how concealed do I carry" test.  For if its truly concealed you shouldn't encounters any problems

Why do so many people look police shootings as "cops being overzealous"? Cops don't shoot people for no reason. They are bound by the same laws as normal citizens. They only gonna shoot if their or someone else's life is in immediate danger. They are faced with a split second to decide if the threat is immediate, and whether or not to shoot. You put yourself in that position, and stress situation, and see if you would respond any differently. How many of you have the training that they have? And don't say, "I'm a better shot because I go to Kokohead everyweekend, and shoot at static targets".

  Cop killed an 8 year old last week who didnt understand to drop the  pellet gun and another guy in his own backyard was killed by a cop because he was testing his own shot gun on his own property..Just sayin'.

^^^^ dumbest thing I've read in awhile. Its not what your intention is, it's the publics perception that will get you in trouble or shot. You should just continue wearing your holster in your house and looking in mirror. That way you won't put yourself or the public in danger. Leave the super hero stuff to the guys with the badge and training.

I think the best and safest thing would be to get CC passed and into law with everone who wants to exersize that right are trained properly and then EVERONE knows what to expect.  An armed society is a polite society.

Lol... I don't know what got your panties in a bunch but I never said anything
about being a superhero. Besides, when did CC every make anyone a super hero?
There is only one reason that I would CCW in allowed states and that is to Protec
my family and me if ever needed too and no other reason.
The only intent is to get used to carrying in a concealed manner as best as possible.

I conceal carry every day.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I agree it needs to get passed. How do you train to CCW everyday without actually
Carrying a weapon.

Possibly.

As stated above, you could run into a whole host of problems, ranging from, on one side of the spectrum, a minor inconvenience and slight delay in your daily schedule, to, on the other side of the spectrum, serious bodily injury or death.

Not trying to be melodramatic, but please note that Duracoat comes in OSHA Blue, Royal Blue, and CavRed and Stock Red.

I, for one, would hate to read about any harm befalling any of the forum bruddahs due to an unfortunate misunderstanding or mistake.


Any possible legal problems?

No.

As Nihonjin stated, a blue gun is not a weapon.

A blue gun is an inert pieces of plastic with no moving parts.

A blue gun is incapable of discharging a projectile, and is used primarily for training purposes.

Ultimately, whether you choose to "CCW" a blue gun is up to you.

Weigh the pros (gives you an idea of how to modify your mannerisms so as to minimize "printing," learn how to take a dump at a public restroom without spilling your mags or firearm onto the restroom floor, etc.) against the cons (weird looks from people who do notice you "printing," possibly getting hassles from HPD, possibly suffering serious bodily injury or death due to an incident that quickly escalates out of control), and choose which course of action works best for your purposes.

Be safe, bruddah!
