Looks like you guys might have to win this one on technicalities, and AGD may have to move to another location if that is possible....

heck, i'm not paranoid
my elephant deflector has been keeping my basement clear from pachyderms for years now.
i regularly show up to watch Maryland's legislature make laws
some of the legiscritters are quite gung-ho to enact more laws on top of laws that have no enforcement
If i showed up at the 7-11 with a marker to commit a robbery
They already have enough things to charge me with.
i kind of doubt the police of Chicago when facing a terroristic threat from a guy with a fake Bazooka
are lacking in the ability to charge and detain the perp.Comment

Well, something WAS accomplished.Originally posted by phantomhitmanFrom all of the bickering about politics, as well as thrashing one another ideals, going on in this thread you guys could have written a page to every rep posted and actually accomplished something. Way to go
The bill HB4132 was ammended to:
7 Sec. 24-11. Replica military style weapons.
8 (a) It is unlawful for any person to use any replica rocket
9 propelled grenade launcher, bazooka, artillery piece, grenade,
10 mine, bomb, or items similar to weapons designed and
11 manufactured for military purposes or replicas of those items
12 in a threatening manner.
13 (b) Sentence. A violation of this Section is a Class A
14 misdemeanor.".
Which seems eminently reasonable. But it would seem it is being held or is not to be passed "2/1/2006 House Do Pass as Amended / Short Debate Judiciary II - Criminal Law Committee; 016-000-000"
Could it be because the "legiscritters" can actually do their jobs correctly?
HB2414 may be of more interest to those seeking to maintain their "rights" to own firearms. But the gist is to define and ban 50 calibre semi-automatics.
From a technical standpoint I have a problem with the way it's worded, but I don't live there so...Comment

heres what an RKBA activist from IL had to say:
heres my favorite IL politician at a paintball event:Started to say I couldn't believe how dumb this is, then I saw "Burke" and "Acevedo." That explains it. A few years ago, Acevedo was one of the Reps who was supposedly the author and sponsor of a gun control bill--only, of course, it was one of the Daley bills. That wasn't even an open secret, it was openly acknowledged that Daley's office had written these bills (there was a package of ten that year.) However, Acevedo didn't even READ the bill he was supposedly so dedicated to passing, and when he testified for it in committee he was forced to tell the committee that he didn't know the simplest things about "his" own bill!
Thats Alan Keyes who ran against Barack Obama, brandishing a scenario LAW rocket
Alan showed up at shatner ball and was filmed firing a marker at the chrony range

I guess we never thought how silly it is for a state to ban paintball. However if they somehow manage to classify it as a dangereous or unlawful equipment/toy/gun, we have to get permits to purchase and play which means more money and a lot less people playing. That will not help the sport.
As for some calling and yelling at the Reps or thier office, it might be uncalled for but sometimes you need it to soften them up

Just ask anyone in Australia how fun it is to play paintball in their country. Here's a thread on Spec Ops from an Australian who talks about the joys of, among other things, getting a permit to own a paintgun and installing a gun safe to lock your paintguns up between games.
So it wouldn't be UNHEARD of, just not in this country.

I know paintball is very safe sport but more is better and this is a step that will evenanutally happen. I believe any player under the age of 18 or over should go through a weapons handling course i.e hunters safety or something. I'm not saying that players are dumb its just good knowledge to have. I'm a hunter and I went through the course. And to tell you the truth alot of it is common sense.
"Always point muzzle in a safe direction, Never point a weapon at anything you do not attend to shoot, keep finger straight and off the trigger until ready to fire, safety is a mechanical device and it will fail!!"
I went to a extend hunter's safety cause of my age. but you could still sum up hunters safety in a weekend. and have it run once a month by local townships.
P.S. one other thing oboviously cost shouldn't exceed 30 dollars which I think is fairComment

I just want to add as other members have mentioned --- To ensure the sport of Paintball has a long life, we need to be very careful in our daily routine concerning Markers. Use proper safety when practicing in your back yards for example. If they do ever go after paintball, it'll most likely be because of stupidity like "drive by paintings" and accidents causing injuries off the field. It's ours to loose, so crack down on the idiots out there guys. We can keep things safe and legal.
