My trip to the dollar store

Harbinger of Darkness · July 28th, 2006, 02:39

I'll admit, my first airsoft guns were crappy EBBs (at least they were TM) from the dollar store. But GBBs, thats just nuts.

Offtopic: I live in the US, but last week I was in Canada camping at Selkirk provincial park on Lake Erie, near Ontario. Its about 45 minutes from Niagra Falls. Anyone heard of that place? Would it have been possible for me to get age verified? Thanks

For you, getting age-verified in Canada is pointless. Why would you? You can get airsoft guns for much cheaper where you live.

[QUOTE]Today I was out and about, and decided to go into a dollar store, when I walked in I noticed some crappy crosman "softair" guns then.... I saw a TM logo and looked closer. It was a TM High capa 4.3 and TM desert eagle hard kick both brand new in box. I dont think quality airsoft guns should be in dollar stores where anybody can buy them, but at least when I asked to have a look at them the guy asked for ID.

At first i thought you ment that they were some discontinued tms that the people that owned the store didnt know they were $300 airsoft guns and they were selling them for really cheap prises.

I dunno Grey, if he's got a camp up "north", he may want some to play (as he obviously can't bring any from the states).

tgrillo · July 29th, 2006, 00:12

Exactly my point, as its possible I may be in Canada for a long time or even permanently in a year or two.

But anyways, is it like illegal or something for them to sell airsoft guns there?

Arthraxis · July 29th, 2006, 02:53

It's not illegal. They would need the proper license to import it, but anyone over the age of 18 can sell to you an airsoft gun if they own it.

Well then, looks like JOC will have yet one more piece of intersting gossip to talk about.

I said I had to see it to believe it, and now I do. Stopped by the place while on my way to a friends house and checked it out. Not only are they selling a TM high capa 4.3 and a TM Desert Eagle, They're also selling a KJW USP 45 with a threaded outer barrel, and a KJW Glock 23. Myself and Avenging Angel looked at them all up close and personal out of the boxes. Just like owner said, this guy wont sell to anyone under 18. He also said he would be getting more in aswell. Either way, I never expected to see that.

owner · July 30th, 2006, 03:49

The guy did not say he would not sell to anyone under 18, he didn't think i was 18 so he said "just come with your parent and i'll give it to you no problem"

Deathcom4 · July 30th, 2006, 04:08

some dollar stores in alberta carry spaz 12 shotguns i find that pretty cool but they ask you for id as well

iiiinteresting, that's not what he told us when we asked. Well, as long as a parent has to be present.
