Damn Dan.. I don't know what to say....

That's just crazy. I really hope that things work out for you.

The can take the physical, but they can't mental... remember that when thinking about Triggernomics Dan

LONG LIVE TRIGGERNOMICS!

you should file charges against the US govt and Customs for exercising bad judgement. darn the stupid patriot act. I wouldnt have consented for anyone to search my home. You should sit your wife down and have a long talk w/ her about letting any govt. worker into your home. this is the kind of democracy we are trying to spread to other parts of the world. *rolleyes*. Talk about an over-reaction by the US customs.

BOOOOOOOOO.

I'd hate to see you unable to make any more works of art out of PB gear. Would germany consider a straw and a pea a firearm? Hope you get through this!

BOOOOOOOOO.

Not US customs, but German customs, as Dan lives in Germany. Germany has extremely strict laws on gun ownership, and apparently paintball guns are considered firearms over there.

Hey:

Dan damn man... That is all that I have to say.. I can't think of anything to say about that.

That is really rough. I hope you and your wife are okay and that she isn't too broken up over this I know that it must be hard.

Also, I hope you are alright with all of this. Triggernomics is a great place I own a trigger shoe from Dan and it is beautiful.

I was actually going to order a custom trigger for the newest project.

Hope all goes well for you Dan and Long Live Triggernomics.

OMG

Dan, that is horrible, your pour wife......I can't even imagine what she went through.

If you ever need to have your stuff stored, it would be in good hands here, just let me know.


I can't even get over that....your triggers, that is just plain ludicris, why could you claim them as artwork instead of firearms???


I'm here for anything you and your family need, as always, tell your wife, I feel so sorry for the torment she went through today.

DO NOT GIVE THEM THE MAD COCKER!!!!

if you are sure they cant find it....don't tell them about it. You should consider dismantalling it down to unrecognizable pieces and store them away from each other. Or possible send them state side (this crap wouldn't have happened over here).

From the sounds of it the Mad cocker is all you have left, don't let them take it!!! This is so horrible man, i just can't even imagine how you must feel.

Don't give up, never surrender, NEVER SURRENDER!!!

[Kevmaster]

dan....we all wish you the best over here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if there is anything I can do to help ya out with these troubles.

[skife]

hide it better.

get a tupperwear container and bury it out behind your house.

Thank you all for the support, it means a lot to me. The whole situation is out of my hands for the moment, I just have to wait.
By not consenting to a search, my wife would have just made the problem worse. They would get search warrants if they needed too. By cooperating, it shows we have no secret evil intentions.
This whole situation does suddenly make me realize how much my freedom really means to me. I've never had a problem like this. I've always been a good boy, especially when it came to paintball. It feels so ironic, for years I've been preaching safety and sportsmanlike conduct, and now I'm the danger.

If the Germans know one thing, its how to make any task a beauracratic NIGHTMARE. I know, I went through the process of aquiring a work visa and residency visa for just one summer...

Did that Finnish team ever get their gear back after it was confiscated on their way back from the Millenium event not too far back?

That really sucks. I dont see why they wouldn't give the stuff back to you, but dont let them find the cocker!!! If anything, just dismantle it and hide it somewhere. I'm guessing you could put it back together. If worse comes to worse, move to america
