We had stores selling them in the past as well, and they got shut down in a big hurry (around 1998?). The province's CFO isn't a fan of airsoft. Nobody here (walk-in stores) will carry a large stock since they know it might disappear overnight.

I'm actually really amazed that SAIL has managed it for this long. Maybe because the cops know their stuff is so expensive nobody is buying there anyway.

Starts you thinking, is worth taking a chance on going to any games while this is happening out here in BC??

I don't think it changes anything unless u were hopeing to buy a new AEG before going out to the upcomming game this weekend. They just siezed the guns from the stores its not going to affect guns already purchased and in hand. It will just take a few weeks for the stores to restock.

Hope so? an unexpected vist by the law at a game would be a dissapointing way to find out we have "new" laws!! that effect our ownership!

maybe a little help "very soon" by the retailers effected, would clear the air?

Either way, I plan to go (Work permitting).

Dracheous September 10th, 2006 20:08

We could always pretend to "out gun" em, till they start shooting and won't call their hits!


Doubt you'll have issue with having the guns as long as you don't brandish them at the any police officers when they roll in. Chances are they'll be an officer playing there with ya anyway.


I'm still more worried about the "Large groups of guys wearing camo," still on the back of my mind ever since those 17 guys were arrested here in Ontario.

You're seriously over reacting, relax.

I'm just pleased I managed to get in and out of XP a day before they got their stuff 'collected'.

Bonus!

Specarms busted too?!
 
http://www.specarms.com/
is down.

Did Will get in the same situation as XP raid?

Hopefully Will at SpecArms is fine and his guns didn't get seized!

Does anyone know whats happening to XP? Are they in serious trouble?

I remember that whole Tokyo Marui Ban thing in BC. Hopefully that doesn't come to Toronto!

The thread did mention it affected Specarms as well. Just an FYI.
