ok i may be a florida boy but wouldn't the snow end up in the ocean anyway when it melts or atleast wouldn't some of the run off get there. down here our rain run off runs in to our lakes and rivers and they make their way to the ocean.

back on point you should be fine as long as you were fireing at a decent size target and can show it was a controlled practic/tuning thing, but if you get mad its gonna look like your wrong so keep your cool

Yes, it all ends up in the ocean, but I think if we want to continue this, we should move it to a different forum, its really off-topic and I apologize.

First - make sure you are within the law to be fireing paintballs where you are. Many citeis dont allow firearms (and some cities classify paint markers as fire arms) to be shot in the city.

Whats more - where you are shooting the paint balls, it needs to be your land - or public land.

IF that is up and up - paintball ARE harmless. Why would we make something toxic?

They dont taste good - but my dads dog LOVES to eat them. Stuipd dog.

good luck with it- try to act as grown up as you can when dealing with outsiders of the sport.

thanks

Should we be worried about the "Seek medical attention"?

How many paintballs is a "small amount"? :spit_take

lol

i would be more worried about the cops and you having a "weapon" out if there are small children or anyone else instead of your neighbor.

[daviselk]

well their is no way that paintballs are killing animals, they are made from the exact same thing that a tylonal gel pill is made from. but shooting is a diffrent story, if it is in your own yard you are ok, unless the place u live thinks that is illegal, but if you are shooting out of your lawn they will find some thing to charge you for. if you do get in trouble afterwards just do somthing to piss him off so bad, if you lived by me i would of allready done it1
