New Bill in RI Targets Paintball
A new bill-in-writing in RI (Rhode Island for those of you who are acronymically challenged) is being revised to target paintball within its scope. You can read the whole thing here. Anyway, most of it is common sense safety stuff to everyone who actually plays. The only people I can see this inconveniencing are those who wish to vandalize property.
That said, there are some significant changes that have to be made. For example, if this was passed as is, ‘ballin in the woods would be out. “Designated paintball areas only.” No way.
It would also require cases for every gun when outside, as well as prohibiting carrying a gun anywhere but the trunk of a car. Neither is a big deal, but I could see some poor kid getting in some trouble for inadvertently not following one of the rules.
Overall though, this is a great idea. No serious paintballer likes to see the name of the sport tarnished every time some stupid kid shoots a car.
