Paintball Banned in California?
Paintball field owners and people looking to start a paintball field had quote a scare recently. A law aimed at renegade airsoft had paintball markers lumped in. The law would have required all paintball markers to be painted bright orange. As in the entire marker.
Now if you are one to dismiss this blog because you are not starting a paintball field in California, pay attention. If it happens in California, it is sure to trickle down to your state. In fact it would happen much faster because the law makers in your state would point to California as the example.
The good news is that of this writing, paintball markers have been excluded from the law. Many thanks to Tippmann and the NPPL for getting the word out.
Lastly, if you are looking to start a paintball field, it’s important to note that your field would not suffer too badly if the law was passed. Yes a bright orange rental gun does take some of the fun out of it, but the magic of paintball is still the playing of the game and the splat. This is why owing a paintball field is one of the best businesses. Since commercial paintball fields have begun in the 80’s, paintball fields have continued to grow through multiple recessions and even the recent depression.
