Arizona laws regarding orange tip
« on: April 12, 2010, 11:54:29 AM »
I've done a few searches and couldn't find anything on your boards/faqs, so I thought I'd post a new topic.

A few of my friends and I were just wanting to run around the streets / desert and play some CTF with one another, but most of our guns had the orange tip stripped/painted off.  I know that to legally sell the gun, the orange tip must be a certain length and/or the gun must be clear, but that law doesn't apply to actually USING the gun without the orange tip.

I know that if I end up pointing it at a cop, there's a good chance he's going to shoot me, but what exactly are AZ laws regarding this orange blaze tip?
Thanks,

Crono

Not trying to start a flame war and it has been covered in depth but, it is bad form to airsoft in the streets.

To be honest, my friends and I were not even aware of this 'community' or genre.  We simply bought airsoft guns out of boredom, and thought it would be fun to run around shooting each other.  I've only very recently become aware of the existence of these airsoft organizations.

What you should really take away from that thread is not whether you can remove the orange tip legally, but that you should treat it as a real gun, orange tip or not, in all situations.  It isn't rocket science to paint an orange tip onto a real gun, and police are well aware of this.

Also, great to see that you're interested in finding things out as opposed to just throwing caution to the wind.
