Senerio in a school

i might have a chance to play PB in a school down the street from my house.  its really big and would be so cool.  i dont know what i would have to do... there might be a lot of paper work and stuff but i think it would be totally worth it.  but how far should i go? what if we needed to pay a whole bunch of money? would it still be worth it... i bet the senerio play would be really fun too. o by the way the school is closing and i think they are demolishing it so thats why i had this idea ... its not like we would break in on the weekend and then have teachers and stuff come in on monday and freak right out, althuogh that would be kind cool too

any way, your thoughts? (note: i posted this in the new player form befor but i relized now that i should have put it here)

You need to speak with your local authorities and check if it is legal to play in town. Good luck, sounds cool.

Yes, Definitely check with the local authorities!

All it takes is somebody nearby to hear the sounds, and see people running around with 'possible firearms' for the police to show up.

Then, when you pop around a corner to hit somebody on the other side, the unsuspecting cop (with weapon drawn, based on what he's hearing), puts you into the earth.

It's happened too many times.  I remember when I was a kid, an eight year old got blasted playing lasertag...

Hehe that'd be cool. But I would check with the authorities first though because someone might report hearing gun fire in the school and then the cops send in SWAT possibly and your A## gets balsted with automatic gunfire. So please for everyone's sake check with the authorities. But I would definitely go for it. And make a deal with a cop that if you like an extra gun and Co2 tank that he could buy his one Paintballs then play with you and your friends. I've heard of paintballers playing against SWAT and the cops before. btw the paintballers won.....hehe.

sweet, that would be so cool. good luck. wish i had a school to play in.

Go for it, make sure its cool with the cops, maybe sign a waiver stating that if you get hurt no one will be held responsible, we had something like that over in Eugene, Oregon, they were gonna demo this old Hotel that had multiple floors, one of the local PB fields jumped on it and organized a "hostage rescue" scenario for it, I didn't get to make it but i heard it was an awsome turnout and they got the OK from everyone first, including ol' "I beat my wife cause i can't afford any ammo"

Ive seen and heard bout too many kids pulling out a toy gun at the cops and get blown away and if you did ask permission from the local authorities, you'll know what theyre gonna say and it aint "yes".  What you should do really is ask the cops if they have ever tried a scenario involving the use of paintball guns.....I know the Los Angeles Police Dept has their own scenario paintball team.

man this is Canada. ppl dont just get shot around here, especially by the 5-0.  if u read the posts above i explained why.

Highly recomened if you have balls to break into a abandoned school. Hahaha peace out guys[IMG]height=100 src="smileys/smiley7.gif" width=127>

You are an idiot that just gives a bad name to paintballers.

Yea if u can do it legaly then do it no use in gettin thrown in jail

i agree that you should check with local authorities, but i seriously doubt that anybody could here a paintball gun from inside an inclosed building. Better safe then sorry, but chances are you wouldnt get cought anyways.
