I'm all for convincing his parents. Tell them that its safer than most sports that they would want him to play instead of paintball. Then prove it with statstics via the internet and maybe a celebrity or two. ------------- Team Salem, Kuwait 08 |

^^^Don't know but paintball is a very safe sport when responsibility and safety are upkept. Wear protective gear (i.e. masks, neck protecters, golves if necessary, and don't have bear skin showing)
Talk to them about safety and such. |

just do this easy little task called sucking-up. do the same thing u did to get your dog.(ex. i'll take care of it, i wont shoot it unless i'm paintballing, ect.) Give it a try, it worked for me. ------------- A-5 14" J&J Ceramics Air Through Buttstock Halo 2 Rules! |

have your parents talk to their parents and explain how safe it is and crap.

tell your friend to show some responisbility like get a job or do work or take care of an animal or something..show them that you can be responsible enough for the gun and they maybe will let him have one ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun.
