Now, I know what you are saying… “But we play airsoft!”

 

Based on media reports and accidental injuries, apparently simple “airsoft safety” is not enough.

 

  Search “airsoft mistaken for real firearms”, and you will see what I mean.

 

  Brandishing your airsoft weapon in public or even allowing your airsoft weapon to be seen by not having it properly stored, is not only stupid but could easily lead to disastrous results.

 

  Proper firearm handling and safety practices can also significantly reduce accidental injuries.

 

Treat your airsoft weapon as if it is a “real-steel” firearm. “Trigger-Discipline”, “Muzzle-Down”, “Mag-Out”, and “Action Cleared” are all practices Airsofters should adopt.

 

If you think, none of this is necessary or you are already safe enough and this does not apply to you…

 

Think again!

 

In California, a law has been proposed to ban import, export, sales, and ownership of airsoft weapons that are not entirely painted bright colors.

 

 If it passes in CA, it will affect our ability to purchase from the large retailers located there, and most likely, other states will try to follow!

 

 What happens when even colorful toys does not solve the problem?

 See what a ban in China looked like…

 

 For the future of the game and lifestyle of airsoft, we the airsoft community have been burdened with the task of proving we can safely and responsibly handle our replica weapons.

 

 Treat your airsoft “gun” with respect, and others will respect you!
