*thread resurrected*

Me and fourteen people showed up to play at a semi-public location, horrible idea. It was an old gulley that wasn't too close to any road, but a neighbor must have seen and called. I was the last one walking down the hill into the gulley. I got thirty feet off the road with my gear, gun in hand, and heard an officer yell "SLPD drop the weapon" or something along that line. He and his partner proceeded to round us all up, stack our guns in a pile next to the street, and lecture, with the angry neighbor who called in standing teen feet away next to the patrol car with her arms folded. Later the cops thought the replicas were pretty cool, especially the glock 18.

maybe you could've got your gear ready INside the park? LOL, "Al-Qaeda is here!"

I :love: airsfot. These safety measures are meant to be followed. These rules are meant to protect you and keep the hobby/sport alive. please keep this sport alive. i'd hate to have to revert to paint ball.

Put it all in there. Oh, and if that gully is on any sort of public land, ask the appropriate authorities (the BLM, the USFS, etc.) if you can use it in the first place.

SOTA had a cop roll up on us training on Saturday. Guns hit the ground, hands went up high. He was nice about it. Told us we just needed a sign on the car saying there was a game going on, and that Washington law changed to restrict to biodegradable ammo only. He said he got a call from someone saying they were a veteran and knew what machine guns looked like, and that we were gonna kill someone.

I still think it was those hillbillies that drove by as we were gearing up. every other time police drove by they would wave and even talk about how cool our gear is hahaha...

Watch the video. Perfect example of how bleeding around with Airsoft guns is dangerous. Second action in the video. After the drug warrant.
Atleast these cops knew what Airsoft guns were.

Lol. $30 guns at their best

Anyhow I've never had the cops called at any game I've been to, but now I really need to give a hard talk to a few of my less intelligent friends who do things like…hmm… fiddling with guns in the car.

Those guys are f**king retarded, but it's funny because that looks like one of those shitty $30 Double Eagle M4s...


EDIT: I just watched that entire episode, and every guy SWAT took down was black.

It's the common pattern. The only white person I remember was a tranny.

Never had the cops called on me, but I try not to attract attention or panic from the public, i'd rather not visit a cop.

Pullman, WA - Black or African American 2.7%

Kansas City, MO - Black or African American 28.6%

I did like the thousands of dollars of damage caused and public resources/funds used to bust two people for about $40 worth of marijuana.

There's a reason we drive out to the sticks to play.
Don't sport your battle rattle in public areas. It makes people nervous.
I couldn't say it any better

Some people don't realize some military weapons can't be used by civilians. The M16 I can Understand the confusion with the AR15 and other models for civilians to use.

Poor argument I must say.
Alot of weapons on the market can be bought as semi automatic civilian models.
