Legality - Fake Weapons
There are two Acts of Parliament that regulate firearms and the public display of firearms or
fake weapons
in Victoria. They are
:
the Control of Weapons Act 1990the
Firearms Act 1996
.
Anything that can be mistaken for a firearm based on its overall appearance requires
police approval
if it is carried in public. The decision as to whether it resembles a real weapon is a
matter for
legal opinion. It is decided ‘on balance’ based on what a reasonable person would think
.
Toy firearms must have the following characteristics to avoid being reasonably mistaken for a
real firearm.
The
colouring should not be the same as that of a working weapon.
Materials
should be immediately recognisable as not being associated with real weapons.
The shape and size should indicate that they are
toysSlide6
