I have been banned from airsoft by my parents. I am sure many of you are glad because anyone who auctions off AirsoftAtlanta doesn't deserve the right to play but I could still use your help. My parents are convinced airsoft is a completely negative sport, is far to violent, and is only played by people with major social problems. I know this isn't true but I need some support here so I can show them that most people playing airsoft are safe, mature, and responsible people.

yeah sure that is the kind of thing that I need my e-mail address is dicepackage@hotmail.com. So far I am just telling them about some of my airsoft friends and telling them that they are nice mature people (at least they are sometimes).

that sucks, that happened to me one time, but just introduce them to some of you more mature airsoft friends and act as mature and helpful around them. Bringing your grades up also helps to. i hope this will help you

Thats a good idea but meeting them would make them less likely to have me play.

What did your parents think of my little letter of reccomendation? Is this some kinda weird punishment for something other than the low grade in biology or what? btw, you might want to tell them that the reson why i don't have a 4.0 is because of my bio class. I got a B, and i'm pissed at my teacher!!

Its not really a punishment its just they hate airsoft. I haven't given it to them but when I have an oppurtunity to talk with them I will hand them your letter. Hopefully this sort of thing will help but because I don't know you personally it might not have any impact at all. Since they don't like me talking to "strangers" on the net. I wouldn't call most of these people strangers though. I never have met most of them but most of my airsoft friends have so I know they aren't some internet junkies out to rape me.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! OK here is what I did, I reserched it a hole lot, for about 9 months before I got to even buy a springer. They understood that everyone is diferent. I soon learned that Airsoft is safer than Paint ball , Police prefer airsoft over paintball, its cheeper, they respected that I have like hobbys. I hope this helped and I'll try to post some later if I have the time, I'm very busy.

Welcome to the boards Andy. Unfortunetly I already tryed all those excuses and none of them are getting through. And as for the police favoring airsoft over paintball (in legal prospective) that just doesn't seem true because airsoft guns are modeled after the real thing and with some paint over the barrel it is impossible for a cop to determine whether the gun is real or fake.
