My UPS guy is absolutely the best. I'm so sorry this driver on the Capitol Hill route was harassed like this. People are crazy.

The internet tells me that in many states, your assumptions about threatening people with "fake" guns is probably correct. In California, the penalties for using a toy gun to commit a crime are the same whether the gun is real or not.

I find it hard to believe that threatening someone with a realistic-looking fake gun is legal. The victim doesn't know it's fake.

That is a line Mudede would write. We already have one of those, thanks.

A. It is unlawful to knowingly carry or shoot any spring gun, air gun, sling or slingshot in, upon or onto any public place.

B. For purposes of this section, "public place" means an area generally open to the public, regardless of whether it is privately owned, and includes, but is not limited to, streets, sidewalks, bridges, alleys, plazas, parks, parking lots, transit stations, transit vehicles and buildings.

So he didn't actually fire it, and I've no idea if an interior apartment hallway fits their definition of "public space", but the story does allude to the fact they made their UPS guy come all the way up rather than meeting him at the door. Any able-bodied person that buzzes deliveries in rather than meeting them at the door is guaranteed to be guilty of multiple infractions against all that is good and proper.

Can we get a list of everything else in the apartment that had nothing to do with this? I need to know what color bath towels this guy has.
