Some guy was walking around my city with an umbrella that looked like a Katana and people thought that he had a gun.

This is a picture of the umbrella.

Here's a news article on it.

So is it an umbrella, gun, or katana?

It's an umbrella with a handle that looks like the handle of a Katana, and people thought it was a gun.

There were (I think) three different schools on lock down because of it.

How the fuck did people confuse that for a gun?

"As you can see, it has significant resemblance to a weapon."

How could anyone mistake a katana for a weapon?
