You're right. But at the moment its sensationalism at its best. Ahhh.. worst. Let's wait till we get something official, okay?
Regardless of whether or not the gun was fake or real, these clowns obviously used it to put forward an act of threatening with a weapon. To me it ranks right up there on the stupid ladder such as yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater which is highly illegal here in the States.
Pippa Middleton: The weekend in Paris ...Much ado about nothing!
The fun weekend in Paris Pippa Middleton
Nice collar.Only hours after a debauched aristocratic bash, Pippa Middleton was at the centre of controversy as she was photographed with a man brandishing a gun on the streets of Paris. Prince William's new sister-in-law, dubbed Her Royal Hotness after her appearance at his wedding, is expected to be questioned by police after her companion pointed the realistic-looking weapon at a photographer who was following them.
What a freaking nontroversy.
She was pursued by photographers all day, and those photographers say that she was kind and polite and so were her friends. One of them joked around with a toy gun and the photographers were in on the joke and not bothered by it. What a yawn of a story.
I'm not talking about drink driving; of course no-one in their right mind would get into a car with someone who was drunk, and most people would try to stop them driving. I was in the car when my mum got 3 points for speeding, but I wasn't held responsible for that, because I wasn't the one with the foot on the pedal....it's not as immediately life threatening as being in a car with a drinking or drunk driver...

In France, it is illegal to be seen with a gun, real or not. Not only the person actually holding the gun, but also those with him can be prosecuted and sentences to up to seven years (if the gun is real) and three years (if it isn't).If she wasn't the one with the gun then I don't see why it's such a big deal. People do stupid things all the time. I don't think it's fair to crucify her for someone elses actions.
Well then the law's a a joke. Looks like I won't ever be taking my nephew to Disneyland Paris as he takes an obviously fake looking gun with him everywhere. He loves playing cowboys and Indians.In France, it is illegal to be seen with a gun, real or not.

I explained better in my next post; only guns (and other weapons) that look real are illegal.Well then the law's a joke. Looks like I won't ever be taking my nephew to Disneyland Paris as he takes an obviously fake looking gun with him everywhere. He loves playing cowboys and Indians.
