Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 1 Supporters Share Posted February 1 Quote The force arrested the man at his home Quite astonishing that he pulled that stunt and then walked away, in London at that. I expect - I hope - some questions are being asked about that. Quote on suspicion of one count of possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear or violence Excellent, and the right charge. It's about time costards got prosecuted for these shenanigans. Pointing it at people crossed the line into criminality. Quote and one count of possession of an offensive weapon. Hmm. I wonder what that was. Hopefully not the RIF. They'll have turned his house upside down, and I expect found plenty of other spicy stuff, some of which may be on the specifically prohibited weapons list.

I was annoyed enough seeing one bloke at ComicCon in the lobby of the NEC open carrying an MP7 where the police could easily have seen and given him a really bad day. Unfortunately, it will be actual airsofters with common sense being tarred with the stupid brush, not cosplayers with more teeth than brain cells who exploit that "insurance". I hope more airsoft retailers are more wary about defences. Tackle and John_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted February 1 Moderators Share Posted February 1 Yeah it's concerning that they apparently arrested him at his home, & weren't quick enough in their response to catch him en-route. John_W, Rogerborg and Galvatron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in London that day and actually at the Excel center but not for the Megacon but for the F1 experience The place was filled with people dressed up, even saw more tactical dickeheads with ghost masks John_W and Tackle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bnjemann Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago For many retailers who are honouring "insured activities" like this are probably doing it solely to get more RIFs shipped out of their warehouses, Bending the definition of what constitutes as a valid defense is their way forward and this is a convenient outlet to permit this so. If anyones considering using systems like this to bypass the whole UKARA song and dance, Don't. If you genuinely care about the sport and want to play it, What is stopping you from simply playing the game to qualify for a RIF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted 12 hours ago Supporters Share Posted 12 hours ago Ahoy and welcome. 1 hour ago, Bnjemann said: For many retailers who are honouring "insured activities" like this are probably doing it solely to get more RIFs shipped out of their warehouses Sure, and I really with they wouldn't, but it's entirely on them. It's never been an offence to obtain or attempt to obtain a RIF. 1 hour ago, Bnjemann said: If anyones considering using systems like this to bypass the whole UKARA song and dance, Don't. It's a fascinating ontological question: is the person that you might be in 8 weeks and 3 games more trustworthy to you than the person you are today? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spend 8 weeks and 3 games to get a UKARA defence and be a dick in public with a RIF, you've given the police and CPS plenty of evidence of aforethought to the crime.
