Weapons Policy

This policy should look familiar; MarsCon has had the same weapons policy for several years now. To review:

We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time while at MarsCon, so please leave your weapons in your quarters. Otherwise, please adhere to the following policy, or risk being 'uninvited' to the convention, without refund from the convention or the hotel.

• Use good judgment. [If you don't have any, check with Ops.] Even if it complies with the remaining rules, if it is unsafe or would reduce the enjoyment of others, please don't do it.
  
  
• No projectile weapons. If it is capable of projecting a solid, liquid, gas, or energy with enough force to annoy or destroy, it is a projectile weapon.
  
  
• All weapons must be carried in a sheath, sling, or other container of some kind at all times except during photo shoots, Masquerade, and programming events where used. [See also 5.7.1. Use good judgment.]
  
  
• Peace-bonding is required on all weapons. If you don't have it, we will.
  
  
• A 'peace-bonded' weapon is one secured into its sheath or container with a functional, but decorative binding. It prevents someone else from taking your weapon without permission, and it is a visible sign to everyone that you are a responsible person.
  
  
• We define weapons to include real weapons (they do what they look like), facsimile weapons (they look real), anything actually used as a weapon (don't think about it, remember - you're on a cruise), and anything an otherwise ignorant being would surmise is a weapon.
  
  
• Targeting anyone with a laser sighting device is annoying, and considered assault.
  
  
• Remember, all laws apply in convention space.
  
  
• Standard rules of ejection apply.
  
  
• We maintain the right to be arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. In any dispute, the decision of MarsCon security is final.
  
  
• You kill it, you eat it, and you clean up the mess.
