Possible new field!
« on: May 26, 2010, 06:10:06 PM »
Hey everyone, just wondering my team is in the works of getting some land 5 acres to be exact out just south of maricopa and was wondering if there would be anyone who would be willing to come play out there. It will be privatly owned so no trouble from cops. Its just in the works right now but please give us some feedback to see how many ppl would go out there.

ya you need to be careful. just because its privet property doesn't mean you can airsoft. if there is a city code that says no airsoft than thats final privet property or not. there is a big mess with a few fields up here in the west Vally with legal issues and investigations because of either state trust land violations or city code violations.

it has been proven in history that for a group to survive its government must be over thrown from time to time. my fear is that this will come to our lands way to soon.

If that's the case then we could not airsoft anywhere cause its either private property or state land as for a mess the fields in the west valley still play with no problems and very little interference from local authorites (worse case they simply ask what we doing and when they find out they just leave)

 I always hear this but i have yet to see any proof of a city code prohibiting the discharge of an Airsoft/Pellet/paintball gun. Please post it here so everyone can read it as well as the link to where you found it

guys, lets not turn this thread into a legal debate


and lets not forget that the city code in maricopa differs from that of the city codes in the west valley.. like i said, i would be interested in playing in the east valley


hell, i would even put some time and labor in to get the field constructed and adequate for airsoft use

hey guys i appreciate the feedback so far but don't worry about the legal stuff, we're obviously going to look into that. that's why the post says possible new field, right now we're just looking more for how much interest there would be in this location and maybe somethings you'd like to see at this field. thx

Not trying to get into a legal debate, but.. Pick asked, and apparently won't search on his own.

City of Chandler Code, Part 3 Chapter 11 Section 6[/url]"]
A. It shall be unlawful within the City limits for any person to display any air gun, gas operated gun, spring gun or any toy or weapon that is a replica or close in appearance to a firearm in such a manner that a reasonable person would feel threatened by such display.
B. It shall be unlawful within the City limits to discharge any air gun, "B-B" gun, gas-operated gun or spring gun or any instrument, toy or weapon commonly known as a "peashooter," "slingshot" or "beany" or any other instrument, including but not limited to bows and arrows, made for the purpose of throwing or projecting missiles of any kind by any means whatsoever, whether such instrument is called by any name set forth above or by any other name.
C. The prohibitions of this section shall not apply on private grounds or premises when, under the circumstances, such instrument can be fired, discharged or operated in such a manner as not to endanger or be likely to endanger any persons or property and also in such manner as to prevent the projectile from traversing any grounds or space outside the perimeter limits of such grounds or premises. There shall be a further exception when public or private grounds or premises are utilized for the purpose of an organized meet or shooting match involving the use of such weapons and when such meet or shooting match has been authorized by the owner or controller of such premises and written permission for same obtained from the Chief of Police.
D. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable in accordance with Chapter 1 of this Code
(Ord. No. 343, § 1; Ord. No. 2988, § 3, 6-24-99; Ord. No. 3687, 6-9-05)

There you go.  It prohibits the discharge of an airgun inside city limits.  Just don't forget the exceptions that more or less make airsofting in a safe and intelligent manner on private property legal. :)

Point Proven it is private Property therefore this law says it ok

Yeah most cities are that way it prohibits airsofting but allows for play on private propery
