Run-ins with the POLICE

This doesn't fit EXACTLY under the 'Battle Scars' section, but I think its a good place to put it.









Lets hear all of those good old police stories you've gotten when those lovely neighbors of yours decided to call the cops on you and your friends playing with guns! I'll start:

A few days ago some buds and I were playing on a big hillside about 200 yards from the edge of any houses, out of sight and out of mind. Mid-game we had two women who traipsed through our kill zone, but us being the intelligent guys that we are, we recognized that they were wearing pink and purple sweatshirts (respectively) and were not sporting any facemasks or goggles. So we as a whole called 'Time OUT!!! Time OUT!!!' until everyone knew that the game was on hold while the women walked through our game. We explained to them what was up and they seemed alright with it since they were not on the receiving end of a rifle. 20 minutes later we get a Sheriff that rolls up to our cars parked at the bottom of the hill we were at while we were down there on a water break. He gives us a tongue lashing and takes all our information down then calls up his 'Open Space preserve division' to come talk to us. They tell us that the rules of open space pretty much prohibit Airsoft just about ANYWHERE here in Marin County, and give us an official warning that if we're caught again its something like a $200 fine and most likely our rifles will be confiscated.

Any problems from people outside the Communist Republic of California?

uh....never happened to me

well, panic, i can see where they're coming from. a bunch of teenagers playing with rifles that look exactly like military hardware, kids wearing cammies and gear... not going to be liked by the local populace.

yeah on attack of the show on G4 they said that in California you have to go to a shooting range or an otherwise playing field. but i have ran from pedestrians (its been a while) and what not but no police yet lol.

WOW Panic, I hope that wasn't your only place to play!!

hey, panic, at least it's not like britain (yet).
look at the uproar these two fools created by playing with fake guns in england!

wow... I paint airsoft guns and so I keep on making people work on any little dot of green/brown/tan/silver/black/ect on it untill it comes off. and really the closest I got was that.......

yeah, got a cheap-o S&W 1911 airsoft from making a scilencer and a paintjob

o kool . what type of paint jobs do yo udo . like anything the customer asks for or do you only paitn certain terains

just about anything, exept for major details but I do stenciling

thats sick man

Really? All the Popo do with us is make us open the action and show the magwell. They've never taken apart a gun before. That seems kind of excessive.

ino it does. o i ordered my socom and got a m120 with it so i can't wait to take it to sequoi

hey so thsi m16 is neon blue http://b2b.guay2.com/eng_our_product/eng_law.htm well some of it . could you do that in red but with an m4.

all i gotta say is that the 50 popo have been A$$ round here, but not bout AS.

PM each other, we are HIJACKING THE THREAD AHHH CALL SLOB HIJACKING.... back to subject.

one of the local players shot at 5 feet a girl, nearly sending the police there. just remembered that now

ha....hijacking, that reminds me


don't BE A, HOW YOU SAY? , HERO! ....... YOU KNOW HOW TO SAY IT!

lol thats hilarious

all I can say is...GA on my mind

I have never had run ins with the cops before because usually we get curious people more often than cops because they can hear the guns and they know they are not real. + the green spaces are pretty much free.

WISH THAT WAS THE CASE HERE

call where I'm at DA AREA
DA AREA HATES US
DA area is worse than that new movie district 9
and yet we survive and play airsoft all because of some work and some help from a little guy called a co founder.... I love democracy

haha popo
