Today, I went to a dollar store with a couple friends to buy cap guns to play with. We were having a lot of fun with them, and took them onto a bus. 5 minutes later, three cops got on, handcuffed us, and sternly talked to us about the dangers of guns. We got arrested for toy guns. We are 17. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at a party when the cops showed up. They asked whether anyone had a gun, but I heard "fun" instead and raised my hand. I got searched. FML
Today, the police came to my house and arrested me. Why? The neighborhood kids thought it would be fun to hide behind my house and shoot at people with paintball guns. People saw it coming from my house and called the police. I was fired from work, due to missing it without notice. No excuses. FML
Today, I took a group of teens with me to hang up posters for our church's yard sale. Because it's summer, we went out at dusk to beat the heat. Someone called the cops on us, and we were arrested for "gang activity". FML
Today, at the bank, my 8-year-old son decided to pull out realistic looking toy gun, and scream "FREEZE! Give me all your money!" The dim-witted bank teller pressed the silent alarm, and I was nearly arrested. FML
Today, at the grocery store, the cops grabbed, cuffed, and hauled me to the station after the clerk called on me. I was with my 11 year-old niece, and she secretly tried to buy a pregnancy test. Despite saying it was for her aunt (my wife) who asked her to buy it for her without me knowing, they didn't believe her. FML
Today, I went to my local bank after getting an email from them concerning unknown purchases. Four hours later, I was still in police custody. Someone had been using my account to purchase guns and drugs. FML
Today, we went to an amusement park, or tried to. My idiot husband stuck his hand under his shirt like a gun and demanded free passes and "all the cash" as a joke. He's banned for life, they escorted us off the premises, and my children are inconsolable. FML
Today, my principal made me visit "anti-violence" classes because I had a picture of me threatening a man with a gun on my Facebook page. It was taken during the school play, where I was acting as a gangster and the gun was just a toy. The principal saw the play. FML
Today, my BFF and I put our kids on the bus, and went shopping and have lunch. We were both eating a gross amount of Taco Bell sitting in the middle of the parking lot. The cops pulled up. Someone had called them, saying we were doing drugs because of the way we were sitting. FML
Today, after my parents left for the weekend, my "friends" decided to throw a party at my house, despite my protests. In order to get them to leave, I called the police. I was the only one arrested, while they got warnings. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Everyone who thinks he deserved it because he's 17 and still playing with toy guns should realise that staying young at heart is important. I feel sorry for people unlike the OP, who never play any games.

Some places, like transportation vehicles and depots, choose to not allow guns of any type... even toy guns, since police officers mistake them for real guns. (Which apparently happened here.) Stupid, but there you go, luckily they didnt shoot to disarm/kill you.

Can't edit anymore, but #117, yes all toy guns come with an orange tip, but just an orange tip doesn't necessarily mean it's fake. I could take a real gun and paint an orange tip on it, and guess what- it's still real. So of course the cops would arrest them. And I have no problem with people playing with toy guns on their own property, but NOT in public. That's just stupid. Brandishing a gun (toy or not- as long as it looks somewhat realistic) is illegal, so they deserved to get arrested. The cops are just doing their jobs.

some states have laws against using toy guns in public because for the police it's not always obvious that they are toys and they want to avoid accidental shootings (as in the police shooting at someone for thinking they have a gun when it's a toy). YDI for being ignorant

hey #133, your ******* dumb, i was 12 and had a cap gun and got arrested and had about 12 guns pointed between me and my 2 friends, and yes anyone who may seem like a threat should be stopped. you dont realize that cops do that so when a guy who REALLY has a gun doesnt get away with it.

Good on you, ass hat. You deserved worse. This is why whenever airsofters see stories like this we laugh and say you could and should have gotten shot- our 'toy' guns look just as real as any, and when OUR sport gets banned because of morons like you, we'll probably hunt you down. Law enforcement has stepped up precautions because gangs have begun using gas blow-back airsoft pistols with their orange markings removed or even real guns painted in an unrealistic manner in order to facilitate robbery. Now, anything that looks like a firearm in any way, shape or form is responded to as a real-steel, live weapon. Which means you could have gotten shot. Which I would not have pitied. Use your brain.
