This lad wants to buy guns off our members

viewtopic.php?t=3488

But in 'training days' refers to only being able to play in the school holidays.

may be worth checking hes not 14

he could be at uni and ironically referring to it as 'school' but best be safe.

It may be worth repeating the vcr disclaimer sticky in wanted as well to cover our backs.

Or a sticky saying do not request RIFs unless you are legally able to buy them - or similar text?

I've received a reply from him. He said he's not allowed to buy a new gun as he's too young and isn't registered.

I've shown him the error of his ways and told him to ask his parents to buy a two-tone gun.

Thread also moved to the data dump.

Idiot. Can't you just tell it's half-term!?

Woah, hang on.

He has all the kit, he just needs a gun. I've told him if his father is an airsofter or re-enactor then he is able to buy it as a gift for him.

Let's try to encourage the lad, not kick him out the moment he has joined!

Right, sticky in place on the wanted section.

The lads Dad is only a member of the MVPA not an airsofter or reenactor.
I've given him an outline of the rules relation to IFs and RIFs and told him for the moment hiring is his only option.

I think airsoft might be a let down for him having been more used to tank driving!

I have been encouraging. I've told him he needs to speak to his parents to purchase a RIF/two-tone gun or go down the hire route.

He said to me he couldn't skirmish without a gun so it was a waste of his time and money and I just told him he needed to find another way.

He's still a child so he needs to speak to his parents not post up on here asking for someone to sell him a gun illegally. I was firm with him, but not discouraging.

He also pm'ed me out of the blue.

I do hope he's not been spamming our users...

Hehe, he initially PM'd Steiner (for some reason) asking why he couldn't access any of the forum sections. Turns out it was just the two private game sections.

Off topic - guess who is going to be Churchill?

A much better proposal than "some fat mate of Josh's" i'd have thought :rofl:

I've offered to bring Andy down as well so no dramas there.

Gadge can drive but has no license... Major is Churchill...

So I guess that's me?

Answered you own question! (We don't have the funds to give you officers a driver as well as a car - there's a war on you know!)

I'd love to use it... but didn't know if Josh wanted someone else to... Much better just with the three of us in it.

I figure we'll probably dump our AEGs in the back much of the time...

BTW... don't ask Eznugud about me and driving cars with potentially dodgy gearboxes... heh... its funny! Well my driving usually had him in stitches anyway...

(Basically I'll need to get some practice!)
