It can be. It depends on your location. Plus, if you do brandish it, it will be treated as if it was a real firearm. Additionally, if you are carting one around and happen to be involved in an incident that results in your being searched by a cop, it will be treated the same as carrying a concealed firearm illegally.

Depends on where you are and what you are doing with it. If you rob a bank with it, yeah it's armed robbery, if you are driving to a swim meet and your the ref, then you have nothing to worry about.
