Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
Asult With a water gun.
What legal ramifications can my friends and I face for spraying random people with a water gun from a car? There is only water in the gun. And is it can the water gun be confinscated if we get pulled over?

Re: Asult With a water gun.
You could be charged with simple assault which is a misdemeanor of the first degree. The max penalty for this offense is up to six months in jail and a fine of $1,000.00 plus costs. Should you shoot a driver of another car and cause him or her to swerve and hit something you could be charged with felonious assault. This is just a few steps short of murder. If the person dies then you could be charged with murder.
My advise to you; DO NOT DO IT!!!!!
