A short time later Officers arrested the owner of the vehicle and his friend on probation holds. Both males are being held in the Door County Jail. Officers later determined the handgun to be an airsoft gun. Officers would like to remind everyone that if you are using airsoft guns please make sure to have the orange tip installed on it. Federal law in the United States requires that a 6 mm (0.24 in) orange tip be present on all "toy guns" (including airsoft replicas) that are sold in the United States.
Lastly remember these "Toy" guns look very real and many times cannot be distinguished from the real things. If brandished in public places it may be mistaken by citizens or law enforcement as the real thing. Public use of airsoft guns could result in citations, arrests, or even worse deadly force used against you. So if you plan on using airsoft guns please use common sense and restrict your use to private property and or clubs designed for airsoft use.
