Pippa Middleton's Gun Photo: Harmless or Reckless?

Yet another photograph taken from the rear of Pippa Middleton is making worldwide news, but this time she isn't the centerpiece, and neither is her rear. The press is circulating a shot of the 28-year-old socialite in a car sitting next to a man who appears to be pointing a handgun at the paparazzo taking the photo. However, both Pippa and the photographer say the gun was fake.

The Sun, a London tabloid, initially reported that the photographer was "considering his options," and that even if the gun was fake, using it to threaten someone like that could land the man brandishing the pistol a two-year sentence under English law. But ABC News claims the photographer knew it was fake the whole time, and has no intention of pressing charges. After all, he probably got a pretty penny out of The Sun for it. But was the man's use of the toy gun harmless or reckless? And is it scandalous that Pippa Middleton was somehow involved?

    A toy gun? Everyone involved knew it was a toy? Nothing to see here.

    And this is in a country, no less, where a member of the royal family lost her life in a car accident that very well may have had to do with paparazzi chasing her.

    If the Brits should be peed off at anyone, it should be these paparazzi types -- not the innocent people who are just trying to move from A to B without a pack of idiots chasing them.

    If you notice all toy guns are orange at the end of the barrel , that one is not . they put orange at the end so police know its a toy rather then shooting kids down that is playing with toys . Besides all that , with enough money a person can get away with murder and those people have plenty of cash .

    Do you think ? Could be . but still a cigarette lighter isn't a toy as they claimed it was . I think they would have said a cigarette lighter not toy .
