Replica Firearms - Showmasters Policy

[crazydan182]

Hi all. I'm sure this is a frequently asked question, and I've seen a couple of older threads with some vague answers, but no definitive guide (if there is one, please point me in the right direction).

What's the policy on replica firearms at all of the Showmasters events?

• Replica blasters/sci-fi weapons that are based on realistic weapon designs (like Star Wars blasters or Blade Runner blasters built from replicated real weapon components)
• Holsters, concealed or plain sight
• Orange barrel caps - when required or not required

There's a lot going on in the world at the moment, and while it is horrible and I can completely understand why US cons are cracking down hugely on replica firearms, I don't want to embark on Cosplay builds if the key props are going to need to be left at home.

Would appreciate some feedback from mods/admins.

Thanks :)
