¨ Third - Don’t take it out of the theatre. Police respond with extreme seriousness to any possible incident involving firearms, and merely displaying a replica outside of a theatre is a felony in most states. Any use outside of a theatre (including any film-work) requires prior notification and consent of the local police.
This brings up something that I've been a bit worried about. The theater company I work with does all perfomances in a park. We set up and take down the "stage" for each performance. Everything including the props are kept in the shed. The show I'm working on right now requires a revolver and a rifle. The revolver I am using looks real, but id sealed at the barrel, though it will fire blanks. The rule I set was that only the actor who uses it, and myself can touch it. It stays in my possesion when not in use. So here is my question, since we don't have an actual theater, is it better to keep the revolver int he shed (It have a padock on it) or for me to take it home during the week. (Keepingi t in a safe place in my apartment.)
