City warns parents about dangers of gel blaster guns in public

City officials are warning parents about the potential dangers of gel blaster guns, also known as splat guns or bead blasters. While these toys may seem harmless, using them in public spaces can cause alarm and violate local ordinances, authorities said.

Many gel blaster guns resemble real firearms, which can lead to dangerous situations if misused or mistaken for actual weapons. When seen in public, especially at night or from a distance, they can trigger panic and potentially result in serious consequences, officials added.

City officials emphasized that none of the guns pictured are real firearms and that they are available for purchase by children. Authorities urge parents to exercise caution and ensure children do not use these toys in public settings.
