Airsoft Banned in the Nortuwest..

Postby Chesty_01 » Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:47 pm

So I just moved to a new town in sw Washington where there is a local paintball store. Figuring with the, we don't like them/they don't like us mojo between us, I acted as if I was just inquiring about any local fields and if they allow airsoft games to happen. This is what the 40 something y/o gentleman tells me.....

'Airsoft has been outlawed in the pac Nw for sometime now. What is getting popular is high powered air guns that shoot lead and or copper bb's. You can't buy airsoft guns anymore because the cops don't like them and they are more dangerous then the newly found air guns and paintball. Huh, I said, well I was just at Fred Meyer yesterday and they sell airsoft guns, you just have to be 18. Well he says, those are just toys, oh I thought you said they were banned? Well......just the high end ones.

There was a place in Cornileous that used to sell the high end ones but they went out of business because of the ban. Really, I said, well thanks for your time.

People these days. What a dipshit. I want to open a field here and not allow paintball cause its not dangerous enough for me..

Thought I would share

Just out of curiousity, what store was it?

To be honest, coming from a paintball player/ ex-pb industry employee, 50% of paintball related stores know as much about pb as Andy & Bax knows about airsoft :p

Giving reviews about a store is illegal now?

I'm sure if you killed one out of every ten of their legionnaires who were to cowardly to fight the Carthaginians, they wouldn't be terribly happy.
