Here we go again. Minors in airsoft just ain't never gonna go away. There are some responsible, and some irresponsible minors out there, just as there are responsible and irresponsible adults (read Flash's posts, and read Ryan's story of the store employee who shot him while he was there). I personally feel that everyone on this forum should be treated with the same amount of respect as anyone else, until meeting them in person tells you otherwise. Like Doc said, the opportunity to sue anyone for anything is available to adults as well. I know if I personally got my tooth shot out, my parents would make me pay for it.
Perhaps a better course of action on this forum would be to elminate the age portion of the profile altogether. That way, we could determine the maturity of the poster without the stigma of age. I know that I would think that Chainsaw was older than Flash after comparing those two posters. The age debate has been done and redone, and, like others said, minors still continue to play airsoft. Frankly, I think its better that they play with a group of responsible people who know about the game rather than have everyone turn them away because they are too young, thus leading them to do something stupid like playing in a public park or a wash.
