And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Heh heh. And it's not lethal force, either, so causing pain but not death or grievous bodily injury to defend against trespass to chattel is a proper legal defense. Heh heh.
Paintball markers are, in tourney or good-field regulated down to 300fps or less.
Stingball/Pepperball guns, on the other hand, are jacked up quite a bit. As they are meant to hurt and disable. Some fire solid rubber balls, some fire powder-compressed balls and others fire a thicker-skinned ball filled with extra-special goodness including pepper concentration and indelible ink.
Serves the rioting bastiges right. Stupidity should be answered by pain.
There was a guy 4 years ago got tired of it and hooked up his Trump sign to a bull-pen electric fence charger. Big Zap! The offender snuck up in skateboard shorts grabbed the sign, and did one heck of a jig before he was able to let go and run off, cussing. Made my day - the guy could have been on American Bandstand the way he was jerking around.
I played paintball years ago on a cold April day. Probably around 40 degrees. I got hit on the back of the hand at about 25 yards and I still remember it.
I was taking a force protection class once upon a time that used paintball guns to demonstrate how to clear a pier or a space on a ship. We were doing an exercise where we had to clear a pier of protestors and the instructors wanted me to be the "disgruntled" member of the team and suddenly side with the protestors. Well, I did..Bottom line? I ended up looking like a cheetah! I had black and blue circles all over my body by the time the instructors quit laughing!!!
Too funny!
