Did you then buy candy with it, or trade it for cool green army men (you know, the guys with radios or machine guns?) Or Mad Magazines? Or did you buy more stuff to sell to the neighborhood kids? Did you have fun with your friends trying to earn a few extra coins?
I'm up for stories.
Answer
I grew up in New Orleans and the thing we did as kids was mow lawns. We would walk from neighborhood to neighborhood and knock on doors. I'm only 34 years old and it's amazing how things have changed. You never see that nowadays. I live in NYC now, but still. The spirit of the entrepreneur seems to be dieing a slow death.
As far as what we did with it we either saved it for cool Sigma or Mongoose bikes or sports equipment. We drooped a few quarters in the arcade too.

Is it legal to bring a water gun that looks like a real gun to NYC?

I'm visiting my friend and she has a son who likes action movies. I thought that giving him a water gun that looks like a real one would be a great present to give to someone who watches a lot of action movies.
Answer
In New York City it is illegal to modify a fake gun to look like a real gun or a real gun to look like a fake gun (like by painting a water gun black or a real gun orange, for example). I'm not sure, but I think it may also be illegal to even possess a real looking fake gun in New York City. Certainly it isn't a good idea. There have been several incidents that I can recall of cops shooting kids because they pointed realistic fake guns at them. There was a sad story a few years back of a kid gunned down on a bike by cops when he pointed a water gun at them that looked exactly like real semi-automatic weapons that they actually encounter on the streets.
If you're using a prop gun in a movie, you have to get proper permits and likely you'll have to have a real police officer on duty to make sure nothing goes wrong. I'm not sure about that, but I know enough about film law and gun control law in New York that I think it's likely.
