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.

Excellent, and the right charge. It's about time costards got prosecuted for these shenanigans. Pointing it at people crossed the line into criminality.

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.

Well, a "Cosplayer" on their way to an event has realy stirred things up...

That's a Darwin Award kind of stupid. 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.

Yeah it's concerning that they apparently arrested him at his home, & weren't quick enough in their response to catch him en-route.

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

My buddy and I have a code word for all the tactical dickheads.  We just say Cat Shit One - based on this stupid but funny video

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

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.

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? 🤔

Call me a cynic but I don't think trustworthiness is the issue. 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.
