Anyway, like the title says, would it be legal, or illegal to paint the muzzle of a real gun orange, so that at a glance somebody might think it's an airsoft gun, or maybe even just a toy?
State law may vary but I don't know of any federal laws that prohibit it. NJ actually has a bill in the works to make it a crime

I think it might be illegal in New York.
Tell me you're not going to do this...
There used to be a company that made orange hunting accents for hunting rifles, that made them look like toys, they were short lived...
There was some guy doing that with an AK a few years back. Then open carried it in a park. As I recall, there was nothing illegal about it, but he was getting a lot of LEO attention. I think it was in Tennessee.

I already specified NO, I have no desire to do this, I only want to know if it would be legal to do if somebody
did want to.
