Lightsabers Are A Real Weapon?

I love that Star Wars is so popular that when I use the word lightsaber in public people know what I’m talking about.  What I want to know is when did lightsabers become a real weapon.  It does sting a little to have one’s knuckles rapped during a mock duel but I never thought of it to be a real weapon.  So does Woolworths know something about our military technology that the general public doesn’t?

supermarket chain Woolworths has restricted the sale of toy lightsabers to people over the age of 18, concerned that the toys could be mistaken for real weapons.

Last I checked lightsaber technology doesn’t really exist.  The general public presumption is that it does not exist and there are not weapon shops across the country selling lightsabers to the general public.  If there are please tell me where I will sell my car to get one!  So Why would Woolworths think that the toy based on a space opera could be mistaken for a real weapon?

We the public do have some common sense!

    I'd sell your car, John's car, all the family cars, and even Trevor's car if we could find someone to take that POS to get a real light saber. Hell i'd forge myself a new birth certificate to get access to my trust fund sooner to get my grubby little hands on a real light saber.

    But alas poor Yorick, wait wrong line. Poor me they do not exist.
