“Golf Cart + Plywood + Gunports = Tank. And what do we do when we see a tank? Well, allow me and a few friends to show you!…”

“…Susan Stark Haydon, a school district spokeswoman, said the male student received the replica gun from a friend and was going to work on it. The student brought the replica into the district workspace. It was left wrapped in paper in a corner of the workspace when a teacher saw it and unwrapped it….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
NEVER EVER bring an airsoft gun onto a school campus, for any reason…even if you are just taking it home to help a friend. We think “the friend” should be part of this event in big way, too…just sayin.’

“...The city’s original prohibition on discharge of weapons was adopted at a time when guns were guns, toys were toys, and everyone knew the difference,” stated an issue summary for the code amendments on Wednesday night’s agenda, drafted by Assistant City Attorney Gary Firestone and police Patrol Capt. Ben Gregory. “The proliferation of items that discharge projectiles but are not intended to cause harm has led to a review of the existing code language and this proposed code amendment,” they continued...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Crossing the threshold of Thumpy's two areas of interests is this nugget that will be taken up by the city councilors in Bend this Wednesday night. If you are a player or business guy in that area that supports as progressive move to improve airsoft's image...we'd urge you to get the info and be a body-in-the-seats at the meeting...

"Crime Stoppers of Oregon is announcing a new campaign to help in the fight against gun crime. Crime Stoppers of Oregon is offering a minimum $250 cash reward to anyone who reports a...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS for Cops and for Teen Airsofters! Pay attention to this one!.... Crime Stoppers in Portland, Oregon wants to generate tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of felons or TEENS UNDER 18 if someone "believes" they have a real firearm. THUMPY's 3D believes this might lead to false tips that could result in a high-risk arrest situation involving teens with airsoft guns...akin to a "SWAT-ing" situation. THINK ABOUT THIS...if a false tip about an airsoft gun results in police drawing weapons to search or "take down" an innocent kid, what will be the results? An officer-involved-shooting? THIS IS BAD POLICY, and if you folks in the Oregon airsoft community...the guys and gals who just held the WINTER EXPO, for instance....are planning a response, please let THUMPY know so we can publicize what you are doing. P.S. The contact website address to turn in a kid is TIPSOFT.com! COME ON PPD! DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! We DO stand behind LEO's and most Crime Stoppers programs...THUMPS has actually been involved in fundraising and organizational activities for many of the CS programs in eastern NC for more than 30 years....but this sounds like a well-meaning plan gone terribly astray in the name of "fighting gun violence." To read the whole police, or to respond, just CLICK THE PIC for contact information with the Portland Crime Stoppers program.
