Context: In germany it's forbidden to carry real looking gunprops in public. Obviously this prop looked too much like a real imperial blaster.

In Canada someone was arrested, later released, because they had a fake gun. Even though they were dressed as a stormtrooper on May 4th outside a business running a Star Wars themed promotion.
