Jeffrey Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I know this might be a bit of a stupid question and I know it's illegal to paint a two tone gun black but is it legal to remove two tone paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions: Do you think it's likely that you'll be found in possession of your airsoft gun(s) other than on the way to or from an airsoft skirmish? If you are stopped under those conditions, what reasonable excuse will you offer to the offence of being in possession of an imitation firearm (realistic or otherwise makes no difference) in a public place?

Gtech Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 No it's not legal to convert an IF into a RIF....regardless, it's always illegal. HOWEVER, if you have a form of defence, you can use that in front of a judge (should worse case scenario and you be in the dock). Of course, that's all dependant on why you're there whether he considers it a valid excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you answer the questions that I asked, there may be a treat at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
