Are you playing in a public or private area? I can understand them confiscating your guns in a public area, but I didn't think there was any way that they could take them from you if you're playing on private property. |

Alright, this is a thread to talk about your airsoft guns in. And the legal issues around them. |

It likely depends on the state. Seeing as how they were taken, but you were never arrested or fined, they are most likely legal there. If you were doing something wrong, I am pretty sure they would ticket you or arrest you. Since it sounds like they avoided it and just took them, you are probably in the right. Also I am pretty sure cops shouldn't be takening anything, if there is no crime commited. |

I always thought that in my area it was illegal to use them on public property, but I was recently informed that that's not true. So all that time we spent running around the backyards of my friend and his 2 neighbors we could have been in the woods instead. |
|
When and where were they confiscated from you? |
|
Depends on the state where you live, I think. I have a CO2 pistol that shoots 400 FPS, and an electric MP5 that shoots 340 (both with high polish .2g's). Anyways, if I remember correctly: |
|
This was probably 2:00, in front of my friends house. We were running back and forth (across the street, but there's hardly ever cars...or for that matter, people) The cop drove by on his bike and we were in the driveway of my the house, the rest of the guys were in the backyard. |
|
Did they take them from the guys in your backyard? I can understand the cops being upset for you running back and forth across the street (though I don't think that warrants confiscation, personally), but I don't think they can do much if you're on private property. I'd take Alric's advice and ask for their names and badge numbers the next time this happens, as there's a pretty strong possibility that they're relying on you assuming that they're in the right since they're police officers. |

we were only shooting in the backyards, we were using spring pistols (roughly 150 fps, way below most limits) and the only problem I saw was running across the street. While outside of the property, we put the guns in holsters (though still visible, I suppose) I think he might have been a new guy, because my friend said that he recently got confiscated and ticketed. |

You should really consult these laws yourself. I doubt we're going to find any reliable info on the net. I suggest asking a police officer who is not associated with the situation. |

Kay bagle. |

I have a simple, albeit dorky solution. |
|
I would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees.
I guess cops are too paranoid with the governments terrorism propaganda since 9/11...bah with this post 9/11 nonsense.... |

yup. |

Are paintball guns illegal in New York? |
|
No, there are arenas and such near me that I used to go to alot. I have a tippman A-5, and it's perfectly legal. |
|
Yeah, that really makes zero sense, since anything that could be fired out of a paintball blowgun could be muzzle loaded into a paintball gun of the same calibre and fired at much higher velocity. |
|
I have a fore grip that I bought ages ago, a flatline, a barrel shroud, expansion chamber and a few broken things (e-grip, hairline trigger) My friend Ryan used buy kits and shit (like military simulation body modifications ) and mod ours for us, but I ended up breaking most of it. my mom didn't really like it that much (my brother got me in to it and he's in the marines now, now she thinks that i'll do the same) so she made keep my shit in my garage, which is, to be nice, a shithole. |
|
I'd say who cares. Just have fun. I'd assume just as long as you have an orange tip at the end, you should be fine walking around with them. I would just stay inside a park though. Don't bring them into like a shopping center or something haha. |
