safety rant
« on: January 06, 2009, 08:02:30 PM »
sorry for being new here, but this is getting on my nerves. as well as scaring the hell out of me.

just because there is a field behind your house, or an abandoded building near by, doesnt mean you can go play airsoft in it!

people have been shot by police over this.

good example: http://www.kcra.com/news/10518690/detail.html#
another one: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/200 ... arms_x.htm

all it would take is one person to get shot for the sport to get legislation started on banning airsoft in your town/city/whatever.

heck, the first time i played airsoft, we were on a friends FENCED IN LAND, his neighbor pulled a gun on us. he thought that we were trying to break into my friends house. lucky, my friends dad saw and came running over. after some quick explaining, the neighbor let us go.

its freaking scary looking up a rifle barrel FROM THE WRONG SIDE.

now, with that being said, if you are the owner of said land, for the love of chicken pot pie, please INFORM YOUR NEIGHBORS WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE THE GAME STARTS.

if you ask the owner of the land and explain what you want to use their land for, usually they will say yes. if you dont know who owns the land or building, then its safer to assume that you cant play there.

/off soap box.

and mods, if anything i said on here is wrong or the laws in arizona allow for this, please tell me. thanks.

This is the main point that I have tried to get across on many occasions. Either step up or get out. I want to enjoy my freedom to airsoft without worrying some idiot will ruin it for me and everyone else.  I have seen laws quickly set up to restrict or to ban the use of items due to the simplest of issues. Once a law or tax is set up it is hard to almost impossible to get it removed.  Hell we are still paying taxes to fight the Spanish American War!
