There are multiple airsoft stores at Pacific Mall in Markham. Maybe the bylaw intentionally meant to target them. But the City couldn't make it obviously impartial and made it apply to all airsoft venders.

In fact one of the stores at Pacific Mall, contrary to signs posted all over the store that they only sell airsoft to over 18's, I have witnessed them selling to minors and young people without checking I.D.

The police/City decided to take action against this and I agree, but they took it too far to blanket it over the whole town. Majority of venders are obeying the law.
