Hey, God here. I know I haven’t spoken with humanity for many years, but I felt this message was urgent enough to deliver personally. Chris stop being a fag.

Yup – same in the UK and, IIRC, many other countries. If you make people believe you have a weapon, then you’re deemed to have had a weapon. Quite rightly, too.

Re: The quoted part above.

In almost every state, that would constitute armed robbery. That it was a BB gun or unloaded wouldn’t matter one bit, the intention was that everyone believed he had a deadly weapon. In some states, a 6 year sentence for that crime would be a light one. In many states, it would be 100% legal for the victim of such a crime to use deadly force to stop the robbery. Sorry but using a weapon (even if it is not likely to be a lethal one) is a violent crime.

“It appears that Miller is not a violent man since he made no threats during the robbery and his BB gun was not loaded. Despite his non-violent nature, Miller faces a three to six year prison sentence for the crime.”
