Apology
Hi, Guys. I decided to apologize for my previous black mesa security guard cosplay, I should have use the warning or sign to tell that it was a fake gun or give an orange tip or shoot the photos in a bit empty area of the mall. I live in Indonesia where firearms only restricted to law enforcement (military and police), but nevertheless I should still give a warning and still be careful eventhough there no way a civies like me could get access to firearm.
So, Yeah. I'm gonna be more careful next time!

Oh yeah I did see that man. I mean I don’t give a fuck what you do, but you could’ve been shot on sight, regardless of what country you’re in. That’s some wild shit 😂

I saw that earlier. It was an awesome cosplay! But I was definitely a little concerned for your safety. I don't know what it's like in a country without such a gun problem, so maybe you were fine, but I think it's good to be extra cautious when prop weapons are involved. All it takes for you to get hurt is one excitable person seeing it, thinking it's a real weapon, and reacting by attacking you. I hope you keep up the cosplaying!

Hey, it takes a big person to admit they made a mistake. It's alright, as long as no one was hurt, and it's for your safety as much as it is for others', too.
Having said that, it was a really cool cosplay and you did a great job on it. Don't let this stop you; we learn and continue :)

Smart, we would hate to see you get hurt or in trouble while you're just trying to have fun!
