Illinois Legislaton Update - Paintball is Fine!
We have spoken with Representative Daniel J. Burke's office. Burke is the sponsor of HB4132, which originally had some language of potential concern to paintball players. As we previously stated, the goal of the legislation was clearly not to impact paintball, and as of Feb 1, the bill has been amended to merely prohibit using look-alilke weapons in a threatening manner. You can have them, display them, use them in your paintball scenario games, just don't use them in a robbery.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to use any replica rocket propelled grenade launcher, bazooka, artillery piece, grenade, mine, bomb, or items similar to weapons designed and manufactured for military purposes or replicas of those items in a threatening manner.
As stated below, the other bill, HB2414, never did, and still does not, have any bearing on paintball. HB2414 only affects real firearms, and paintball markers are not firearms under Illinois law. (See: (430 ILCS 65/1.1))
