A whole dollar! That was some heavy bread back then.
BTW, you'd not want to "whip" that out today.

Nope, that would not be a good idea for the kids today.

"Easy To Hold - Easy To Flash."
I'd think that an indecent exposure charge would be needed along with brandishing a weapon charge.

I had one of those when I was a kid in the '60s. In those days when you saw a boy with a toy gun, you thought nothing of it. I had flashlights that looked like science fiction ray guns, too, with a disk you could turn to change the color of the light.

I'm surprised how many toy guns are for sale today for incredibly cheap prices. Many realistic guns cost as little as a dollar. Unless a kid and/or parents are incredibly careless or stupid, it won't cause a real problem but it's like the toy companies are taunting zero policy school systems.
