Role-Play Safety. - Rape Board

Andering REDDSON · 12-20-2006, 01:16 PM

I know weaps are, occasionally, used in role-playing, and while I wouldnâ€™t deign to tell someone HOW to play, I might suggest that holding a gun, even a toy one, to you spouseâ€™s head might leave a cop with the wrong impression.

Â¡FEAR NO MORE! There is an option, not generally well-known outside law enforcement and militry circles, for weaps look-alikes that any cop will recognize at a glance, and instantly know there is no danger. RedgunsÂ© are used by law enforcement for training purposes, as weaps simulators. The instructor uses the RedgunÂ©, rather than a real gun, to â€œattackâ€ students/fellow officers. Also, knives, TazersÂ©, rifles/sub-machineguns, even radios and flashlights are available. (Itâ€™s too bad I donâ€™t own the company, with how much Iâ€™ve advertised for them Iâ€™d be a damned millionaire by now.)

I MOST URGENTLY recommend against purchasing a BluegunÂ©; They can be mistaken, especially in the dark, for a REAL guns/knives. Also, DO NOT RE-PAINT THEM; Firstly, this may be illegal where you are, and secondly, it defeats the purpose of the Redguns; Safety and EASY RECOGNITION by police.

Â¿Mods, can we get a stickie on this thread?

Me thinks this borders spamming

It's well over the border of completely useless! And Andy this thread has about as much chance of being stuck as a snowcone in hell!

This stuff reminds me of the dribble that use to come out of Gals mouth, sort of leaves you feeling... wtf and having to re-read it for some sense to be made of it.

Mybe I was a bit wague... I'm pretty sure this is spamming!

Would tend to agree with you thought Andy is a member and Gals thoughts/posts were just as abstract/off topic and could have been considered spamming.

How we decide the difference btw a link to a pharmaceutical website or loan company and this sort of post i dont know?

Sternenlied · 12-22-2006, 09:31 AM

I agree with clan.
Either we allow members (esp. Gal and all of its personae) to post completely useless posts or we don't. But it has to go for everyone.

UHH???? Sorry I know all you people are much smarter than me but hows about if a thread doesnt make sense just Delete it then??

Oh yes and that would include any stupid ass posts of my own as well! Thanks for listening to this silly girl!!

Actually, itâ€™s a public safety announcement.
My most important reference.
There are others, but this was the only one I could quickly find that resulted in a DEATH. One in particular was about a guy in a Star Wars costume who was shot AND KILLED by a cop outside a convention because the cop mistook the Stormtrooper pistol for a real one.
I point of fact, I wanted to include a link to â€œaâ€ source for them but was shot down.

For those of you familiar with the â€œBedroom Bondageâ€ website, Lorelei had an essay based on a 20-questions with an SFDP officer. One of his comments was â€œDo not use a weapon. If you do, a police officer seeing that will react only to the weapon. He will not care nor understand itâ€™s fake until AFTER he has it, and by then you might be dead.â€
Ok, thatâ€™s not verbatim. (For an article I read over a year ago, I think I did pretty good.) But cops USE RedgunsÂ© for training, so they would recognize the difference, in a glance, between a RedgunÂ© and a real gun (but donâ€™t use anything EXCEPT a RedgunÂ©, because they may not be familiar with that or, especially in the dark, they may get confused- Thatâ€™s why I say donâ€™t paint them either).

But I have to give yâ€™all credit- You FINALLY pissed me off. Maybe that was what yâ€™all were missingâ€¦

This thread needs a stickie (and a through cleaning) even more so nowâ€¦

Em, wouldn't roleplaying take place in the bedroom, of a house? So the cop is inside watching?

And using any weapon for roleplay in public would give any person the wrong impression, never mind authorities.

Andering REDDSON · 12-30-2006, 11:09 PM

Things happen. Better safe than sorry.

I hate to drag an ancient post out, but since Vivienne already tagged it what the heck.

The red-tip guns are a good idea, but the safest thing to to is follow the orders of law enforcement officers *explicitly*, and for God's sake don't accidentally point a toy gun at them. I barely escaped being improperly ventilated long before the toys had red tips. I froze when they told me to, and carefully put it on the ground when they said to do so. If they'd have said "squeal like a dolphin" I'd have done that too.

The cops in Arizona killed a 16 year old kid with a toy gun 'cos he wouldn't listen. Deplorable, but their first reaction if it's dark and you have a weapon is to protect their own lives. It's too hot to wear body armor on patrol, so you can't really fault them for that.
