WARNING: NEVER take your airsoft guns to school..
this is why! Were we not clear in the SAFETY section? How stupid do you have to be to think that this would be a good idea? Read on…
ATTENTION: ALL VETERAN AIRSOFT PLAYERS YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
I got a notice hand delivered from my elementary school son yesterday from the desk of the Principal. It seems that our small town elementary school was placed on “CODE RED” lock down yesterday morning for 20 minutes because someone spotted two individuals with weapons in the high school parking lot next door to the elementary school. If you’re a parent of an airsofter or a veteran airsofter yourself, you know what I’m about to tell you.
That’s right, two <insert your own derogatory names here> decided that it would be a fantastic idea to bring airsoft guns to school and trade them out in the parking lot before school. They were spotted (DUH!) and both schools went on immediate lock down and the police were called in. The cops discovered the weapons were airsoft guns and the alert was called off, and the individuals dealt with.
Let me tell you that these <insert your own derogatory names here> were lucky they live in a very small town where the cops are reasonable people and everyone knows everyone else. If this had been a busy suburban or urban school, these guys would have been shot or severely “curbed”. And you can bet there would be angry parents on the 5 O’Clock news enticing ambitious legislators to outlaw airsoft guns. The sport of airsoft does not need this kind of bad publicity.
Incidents like this should be a wake up call to airsoft veterans and parents of airsofters. We are NOT doing a good enough job teaching these young kids about the safety involved in airsoft. We have to do better or this sport will be taken away from us by anti-gun crusaders who see an easy target for banning.
Read more about the bans and restrictive laws in other countries HERE on Wikipedia.
Here is the notice with most of the info redacted. This didn’t hit the mainstream media here and I’d like to keep it that way. If this can pass under the radar but still get noticed in the airsoft community then this post will have been worth it.
