This is a generic weapons policy we created for anyone to use for their convention or show. It is based on Texas state law. Please click on "The Laws" shield to view the other states we have listed. If your state is not listed, please check with your respective law enforcement agency to find what you need. You may modify this policy to fit your event as needed with respect to your state and local laws. All we ask is that you acknowledge Lazy Dragon and send a link so we can advertise your event.
(Insert Name) Weapons Policy This policy is a combination of convention rules and of the laws of the State of Texas. Enforcement of these rules is enacted with ZERO Tolerance. No warnings will be given. Any infraction of these rules will be met with expulsion from the convention without a refund as well as possible law enforcement involvement. A weapon is defined as:
1. Dealers will only sell any defined weapon to persons of at least 18 years of age. Any dealer selling to minors will be removed from the convention and proper authorities may be notified. 2. You may only handle a weapon if you are at least 18 years of age. 3. Participants may carry weapons (boxed, bagged, and/or piece bonded) as long as they are at least 18 years of age. 4. Drawing of weaponry, horseplay, or careless handling of weapons in public areas, is not allowed and will result in loss of membership and expulsion from the convention. 5. All sharpened edges must be sheathed and peace tied. You will need to check any weapon with Con Ops to make sure that weapon is allowed and properly bound. The convention has final say on whether the weapon may be brought into the convention. Practice swords and non-sharpened weapons must be tied to the belt or back scabbard. 6. All staves and pole arms must be kept vertical. 7. All Dealers must box, wrap, or peace tie any weapon that requires it. 8. All non-sharpened weapons, wooden, and home-made facsimiles must and will be checked by Con Ops. 9. Any firearm, real or otherwise, will be checked at Con Ops. If Con Ops does not allow the weapon, it must be put in your room or vehicle. 10. Any participant caught buying a weapon and giving it to a minor will be removed from the convention and proper authorities may be notified. The minor will be removed as well. 11. The only times at which the live steel or weapon may be drawn will be as follows: a. On stage at the costume contest. b. In a designated area for photo ops. 12. Projectile weapons are prohibited. This includes water pistols and any weapon capable of shooting any type of projectiles. 13. All costume contestants planning to use weapons onstage must present their weapons for inspection and demonstrate their intended use for the staff. Any unauthorized weapons or actions involving weapons onstage or backstage will result in disqualification and any further actions deemed necessary by Con Ops. 14. All persons handling weapons do so at their own risk. All decisions made by the staff regarding the (Insert Name) Weapons Policy are final. Please note that the (Insert Name) Weapons policy is subject to change, and may be done so with or without advance notice.
