Ten years ago I took my then fifteen-year-old grandson and three of his friends for a week long trip to San Diego and Phoenix. Among their best memories was the fun they had playing laser tag.
Our family goes to Phoenix every year for the Christmas week and has been doing so for the last seven years. Always includes taking the family to race go carts and play laser tag. They have a blast. Will be plenty upset if they no longer are allowed to engage in this activity.
Have they banned water guns yet?
Back in the 80’s you could shoot .22 at a carnival as I did in Phoenix.
We were at a wedding and afterwards my uncle instead of going back to the house decided to drive us to a carnival while still in our fancy duds.
I’ve known Pete Fowler for more than 15 years due to an online connection, have had dinner with him and his wife Val several times when business put us in the same place. They are class act individuals, and this city council action reeks of the worst sort of political correctness and cultural Marxism.
Laser Target Lives Matter!
The Kalifornication ...
I have an arcade .22, a 1927 Remington of St John design.
Given the reasoning from the article:
“It’s a pretty straight forward decision that this committee made,” said Gregg Bach, public information officer for the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, which is in charge of organizing such events. “The planning committee was not comfortable with an exhibit/game that presented guns in a fun or glorified way.”I don't see why they wouldn't.
I've heard the reason comedians don't go to colleges anymore is because the students get hyper-offended at everything, like they have no sense of humor… and, given that authoritarians hate being laughed at, it makes some sense.
