Dear Paintball Manufactures, operators, and enthusiasts As you may or may not know California State government is looking to pass a new law that will affect paintball in California. Bill SB798 is intended to eliminate an exemption to the current “imitation firearms” law. Currently this exemption allows the Airsoft, BB, and Paintball industry to manufacture black markers/guns that could be considered “look-a-like” firearms; and depending who you talk to, anything that is black with a barrel is a “look-a-like” firearm. A small group of manufactures and operators have become aware of the law and have pulled together to begin fighting the passage of the law or having it amended to exclude paintball from Bill SB798.

We have partnered up with Factory to Field which airs on the Pursuit Channel. The episode will air on Wednesday, March 9th 2011 at 10PM Eastern time on Direct TV Channel 608 and on the Dish Network Channel 240.
