    Thats a very odd thing to do.


    anyway, thanks for the PS3 and I didn't harm his family.

    I really doubt this a real hostage situation, if someone had the power to take hold of your family and force you toget something i highly doubt they would ask for a £300 ps3, EPIC fail that guy. Probably find the gun was fake, most of the time it is

    But if someone was pointing a gun which looked realistic at your head and told you to hand over your wallet or be shot... would you take the risk it was fake?

    No i doubt i would, my comment wasnt really aimed at the shop keeper who gave him the ps3 but just mentioning it was most likely fake and something needs to be done about these fake guns >.<.

    Here, maybe. Though these days, I'm not so sure.

    But in Missouri? It'd probably be harder to get hold of a fake than the real thing.
