It was only a matter of time, and that time is here. Airsoft in Maryland is under attack! Maryland's lawmakers would like to make the use, sale, possession or transportation of any airsoft replicas (which they categorize as "imitation firearms") illegal.
This means that if you play, sell, own or have an airsoft replica in your car, you would be considered a criminal and could serve a jail sentence of up to 1 year, and or a fine of up to $1000 per violation.
This bill would likely put us out of business and end airsoft in the state of Maryland forever.
