So... just a quick recap, you can't bring your modified replica toy guns out into public unless its for events such as the upcoming EOY festival? And Even when you do bring them out for such an event, you must keep them concealed before reaching the event's premises?
Here comes a problem, what if the premise for the event is in a public area such as the National Library at Bugis? Can we bring out our toy replicas there?
Ps. For those that don't know, the End Of Year(EOY) festival is pretty much nearly the same as AFA except that its primarily for cosplayers.
Dude, there is NOTHING illegal.
Except the fact that there are ignoramuses ( I am sure there are still ppl who criticized cosplayers) who are scared of anything that is not ordinary.
There have been cases of the cops being called for "there are gun toting people" in the XXX area. The cops came then saw this: Models with toy rep guns promoting FPS game. The Cop turned around and scold/warned the person who "act smart" (thinking will get a good citizen award") for lodging a false report.
The cops have better things to do than to respond such nonsense, so they advised ppl to cover their toy rep guns , only at the event place then reveal for use.
BT supply legal toy rep guns, comes with authourities approval.
Unless any cosplayer (which many viewed as very level headed, in fact more than a heartland peasant who can be scared of anything) wanna go around saying "I 've REAL ONE".
Most wouldn't do that. Unless this Cosplayer is NOOB and super despo attention seeker which again I do not think so.
They IHMO are the among the more level headed, think hard bunch of people I know. They know that life is short, enjoy hard and make the best of the things here instead whining like their lives and existence is a torture to themselves.
BT has been thru WCG, Cosfest, TGX and AFA with the Toy Rep guns.
That settles a lot of questions asked.
