I think this happened to a guy in Boston last year dressed up like a storm trooper or boba fett and someone called the police after seeing a guy with a gun on the subway platform.

What are they worried about? It's not like he was going to hit anybody.

Mighty fine police work there boys and girls , whats next ? Do we tackle and detain the re-enactors in the next frontier days parade at gun point?
I'm glad to see Peter Lorre got a job as a police chief though.

Stormtrooper??? Damn. That's dangerous. The amount of "friendly fire" those turds spray around could actually injure a bystander.

These blast points, too accurate for sand people. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise. --Obi Wan Kenobi.

There's a difference between precision and accuracy.

All your misses, in one hole, is still precise.
