awesome I will be watching!

Me too.

For all the people that dont know what time zone their in, It will air at 6:00 P.M. for us.

Here's a link to the current version (the most current as far as I know) of SB798.

Rereading the Bill seems to indicate, per Section 1(b), that coloring the exterior of the device would exempt it from imitation firearm status.

Ha...missed that the first time - you'll be "listening"...of course, I guess you can watch your listening device, hehe.

Keep in mind that Airsoft Corps is a live call in show for all players (me and my co-hosts included)...if you have a cool event coming up - tell us all...you know of a sweet place to play - tell us all...you got an uber awesome team that distributes pwnage like stupid crazy, and you want to shamelessly plug it on the show - tell us all!

We are all players, and being able to visit out on the field during (well, after and before) events is a big part of what makes airsoft so cool. We can talk about "this one time, when this one guys was doing this, and I got him while I was here" or whatever...that's good stuff. We all like to hear and share good airsoft stories and info. That's one thing you will notice about Airsoft Corps, it exists for you - not us. The ego factor is not a factor for us - I pretty much suck, but I love to play...I love the fellowship and brotherhood...I love AIRSOFT. Do you? Call us. All Airsoft Corps is about is improving the sport, protecting the sport, and us all hanging out and talking about the sport we all love.

And if you can’t catch it live, or you want to carry it with you to show your buddies that you were on the show, get the podcasts here:

Red Wolf Hong Kong getting involved.

Apparently there is a big meeting going on right now as to if the manufactures are going to switch over to California law for all of their guns or if they ship to Washington.

How is this bill going?

its been passed in the state senate and is now before the house waiting to be voted on. if the house passes it then it will go before the govenor

May 19th SB798 was referred back to Committee. Of the votes that have taken place, these are your AYES:
Alquist, Calderon, Corbett, De León, DeSaulnier, Evans, Hancock, Hernandez, Kehoe, Leno, Lieu, Liu, Lowenthal, Padilla, Pavley, Price, Simitian, Steinberg, Vargas, Wolk, and Yee.


These are the NOES (the good guys ):
Anderson, Berryhill, Blakeslee, Cannella, Correa, Dutton, Emmerson, Fuller, Gaines, Harman, Huff, La Malfa, Runner, Strickland, Walters, and Wyland.


And these are the ones that won't take a position - these are the ones that need to get off their butts and VOTE!!!:
Negrete, McLeod, Rubio, and Wright.


As the voting stands, 21 to 16 the vote will pass. If these folks will vote NO, it would be 21 to 20. However, SB798 only requires a majority vote, it does NOT require a 2/3 vote.
