You can't have paintball equipment on campus.
And no one under 21 is supposed to have alcohol in their room either

Didnt see you post in this one.
" Most industry people thought the ROF was too high at 8 and said they would get out if it got to 10 or 11. You didn't see anyone leave did you? Most of you will say you would never play paintball at 30 BPS. Your addicted, its just like heroin, you don't really care if it kills you."Comment

OK... how about Sling-Shots and Blow-Guns then?
I could make either of those in about 5min using household (or Dorm) items, and both would probably be just as, if not more dangerous than my paintball marker.
Heck, even now that I think about it... Back in HS I used to be a pitcher on da baseball team. Me throwing a 70+ mph rock would be just as bad, if not more accurate than such mentioned devices above.

A court decides a paintball gun is a Weapon. We finally found a good use for SmartPart's Lawyers and they are now nowhere to be found. They are probably busy sueing companies that manufactuer pieces of pipe for breaking their patent on barrels.

Again, there kinda horrible examples. Heroin use has a high mortality rate. The only example you are finding linked to the game played properly is above, and even that one states it was not the paintball. Even if you include the deaths related to mishandled CO2 canisters, the chances of being seriously injured or killed are very very minimal.
I doubt paintball ever gets to 30BPS just from a strategic issue - that being said, if it does it does and I don't really care."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr SuessComment

The fact you can make and use deadlier weapons doesn't change the fact that paintball markers, like many other pieces of sporting equipment, are weapons when used against others outside the accepted confines and rules of the sport for which they are intended.
That idiot got what he deserved and the ruling was just.

Hey a fellow archer!Yeh I have my marker in my university dorm kept in a locked aluminum case with my other gear hidden. Oh and that full sized case that looks like a rifle case but has all my archery equipment in it. I over heard campus police while walking to my dorm arguing that archery equipment is supposed to be locked down in the gym. Things I cant do because I need easy access to my equipment when I travel to Nationals and other close archery tournaments. I guess what no one knows dosent cause any trouble. Althought it does look a little suspicious(sp?) when I'm walking across campus with a huge black case.Comment

Non the less two people are still DEAD.Show me where I ever said anything about chances. Lots of things will affect probability.Originally posted by Lohman446
So I dont have to say any more. You either already know or dont care.

I know, I care, and, after considering the risks that are evident, as well as some that are not, have determined it is safe enough for me to participate in.
Just because I don't make it a point to panic over possibles does not mean I don't care.
Either my level of acceptable risk is higher than yours, or we calculate the risks differently."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr SuessComment

Ya I know you know but ya puncked me on the care part.Originally posted by Lohman446
All the risks ARE evident, arent they? What ones are not?
Ya me to as long as I make sure I CMA. This is old school stuff. When can we play with 303s?
Just because I make a point doesnt mean I panic.

I dont care if it comes to 30BPS because I don't beleive it substantially increases the risk. Thats the part I don't care aboutOriginally posted by BeemerYa I know you know but ya puncked me on the care part.
