Had a strange thing happen once, i was meeting someone at a services to buy an automag. And we were looking at the mag in the car for a while when all of a sudden a police van pulled alongside and 3 policemen got out and quickly came over to us with a concerned look on their faces. Immediately i thought has my tax run out.
As it was the middle of summer, all the windows were open and the first policeman reached in and took the keys out of the ignition, and said "where's the gun, hand it over", i thought cheeky bu##er, then realised that he wasn't joking. The guy selling me the mag was white as a sheet, absolutely cra##ing himself, because the guy the other side of the car, his side, had a gun pointing at him.
Needless to say all was smoothed over when he saw it was a paintball marker, but don't assume the general public are that bright, as it was some daft old tw#t in the car park, that reported us.
The policeman said "try and keep this sort of thing out of sight, as it looks lethal"
Enough said..!!
