I play airsoft! HUzzah!. And yeah I don't wanna hear about how much more hardcore paintballing is. My gun shoots far and accurate and doesn't leave massive welts, an important step when playing with girlfriends and nephews.

So I am sick of sneaking around in bushes with my retarded orange cap over the gun giving me away, so I pulled out the spray paint and coloured it in. Then I got out my whole box of spray paints and proceeded to fancy up my entire arsenal.

Now one of my friends won't play with me because she's afraid that "cops are gonna come and shoot us". Up on a mountain deep in the forest off of a logging trail. Pshaw. I know painting my guns to look better [I'm in canada - guns are clear with a bright orange tip] is illegal, but out where I play [in my very large and private back yard] and up on a mountain, sometimes on an island not too far a kayaking trip away - there is nobody. I think it's fine.

Opinions? Before you rag on me for breaking the law, I bet you jaywalk and don't always come to a complete stop at stop signs.

eds1275:
Oh also I basically have a small arsenal and my friends usually use my stuff. So yeah it's a fair game we play.

TOK:
That sounds much more responsible than painting orange tips on real guns!  :cheers:

Um . . . who cares? 

BTW, comparing what you're doing to jaywalking is absurd.  If you're trying to persuade people, mentioning that will always have the opposite effect.  A #1 the two behaviors are not remotely comparable.  B #2, forget jaywalking, maybe I'm a serial killer and I also eat children.  That doesn't make what you are doing any more or less appropriate.  It's totally irrelevant.  What you are doing to your guns is right or wrong or somewhere in between regardless of how many people jaywalk or roll through stop signs.

Here in Toronto, jaywalking pedestrians get hit and killed on average 1 every 2 weeks. So maybe it is a fair analogy.  :)
