        Can they? I know they can slap an age limit on the purchase of goods, but can they legally ban a sport?
        I'm way too old for this ****.

            Check out the news section at Warpig.com. There should be a few articles about paintball being threaten to become outlawed in certain areas. Hope this helps.

              There was an entire state (Illinois comes to mind, but I don't really remember) that banned paintball for a while. It CAN and HAS happened. Baltimore is considering it RIGHT NOW. If he does what ever he is contemplating you need to report him.

                      Define ban?

                      Lots of towns have banned PLAYING paintball - it pretty much falls under the same ordinances that ban the discharge of any sort of projectiles within the city limits. That's just common sense.

                      I know of no jurisdiction that currently bans the possession of paintball equipment, although Baltimore is trying.

                      Alpheretta GA passed a law rather strictly restricting the ability of minors to possess paintball markers, and New Milford CT passed a law prohibitting lpay on city land (which was the direct result of people playing there without permission and causing damage.)

                        Glad to hear you are on top of things. It really is a very important issue.
