I carry a gun as part of my job. If someone points a firearm at me, REAL OR NOT, LOADED OR UNLOADED, they're getting shot. Period. I don't think it's funny. Same thing with a knife. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Or a bat. Or a brick. Or anything else that a reasonable person can conclude is a weapon that makes me feel in fear of my life or the life of someone else.
I can't believe how my thinking has changed over the last several years. When I was a kid, I never went anywhere without a cap pistol. I was always playing army or cops and robbers. I saw a kid on the playground last night playing with what looked like a very realistic toy gun and wondered what his parents were thinking (Mainly because I've seen people use them in robberies).
