ComicCon airsoft open carry (facepalm)

Because cosplayers are speshul..... even by airsofter standards. From going to one comicon at least we know what deodorant is.

But if I dont have a real looking mp5 it'll ruuuiiiiiiiin my resident evil LARP. And because Ive put all this time into my costume it'd be a shame not to walk all the way to the con through the centre of town without my kit on display.......

@Rogerborg also its a well known fact armed response don't take their hits and their fps is above site limits.

Gonna thoroughly disagree with all airsofters knowing what deodorant is/that showering every day is a necessity lol.

Tbh I don't see much of a difference between a bunch of airsoft players going to The Mall back when that ran (or one of the many other currently operating sites that are in the middle of a dense urban area) vs con attendees heading to their expo centre... or me just transporting a RIF from any address to another for a reason that's within the law i.e. to one of the techs I use.  Or buying a RIF from an airsoft shop and bring it home.  Or buying an air rifle or crossbow or whatever else from a shop and taking it home.

If you let people see a 'gun' in public (in the UK) then guess what, ya dun fucked up son.  If you keep it totally hidden until you are within an area where gun-shaped things are legal to display and the appearance of said items is very much expected by everyone around, then that's going to be fine.

Part of the briefing at The Mall was always pointing out that Thames Valley ARU were stationed just over the road so NOT using a gun bag was strongly discouraged!

Unfortunately there are some in this hobby who could do with a lesson in common sense. For example on my last trip to Bunker 51 while having a cigarette outside another player arrived openly carrying his M4 slung over one shoulder. I'm assuming he only carried it from his car and while the road is a minor back street it still struck me as not a clever thing to do
