Wearing Gear for Halloween?

[RaisinBran]

If you're walking around in a mall, clear crapsoft wouldn't be good but nerf guns would be cool

Even better though would be to have a holster and use bananas as pistols and apples as grenades, just a thought.

Wear all your gear, carry your guns and point them at kids.

(Do the opposite of the above)

I'm going with either the SF look from DoTD(the quick scene where the guy is firing the pig while the presidential helicopter takes off from the Whitehouse lawn), or a Tier 1 impersonation(Dusty), complete with fake beard.

Totally Tier 1.

[PaddMadd]

That's what I'm thinking.

It won't be very accurate to the actual character, but it will still look awesome. All I need to do is track down a Jew beard....

You can wear your gear.. Impersonating an officer would be wearing rank..

[Kos-Mos]

Be carefull if your stuff is real CADPAT.

Basically you are not allowed to wear the newer ones in any occasion unless you are in the military and on duty. The old surplused ones are ok, but most people won't know the difference, so some jerk that has been to the bootcamp and got kicked out might want to rip your face because he does not understand (personal experience).

Anything from any other country would be fine... Multicam fits great with flashy Nerf guns...

My team and I went out to a bar a few years back all geared up minus the guns. We almost won best costumes. My buddy even wore his ghillie suit.

Sorry Kos, but I just about peed myself when I read that. Reminds me of a time when me and a friend went to a club and some people thought he was someone else, Man did we have to book out of there fast.

Impersonating an officer charge is VERY VERY unlikely.

I asked a police officer last year because my costume was basically SWAT with POLICE on it instead of SWAT.

Anyways, the officer said POLICE lettering is fine. Aslong as you dont go around pretending like you are a cop. Also, you can't put any district patches on your shoulders. For example,

Any patches like that, you will most likely get arrested.

Im guessing your other friends dressed up as a biker, construction worker, navy officer and cowboy :P

My money's on Hades being the biker :P He always liked stashes

Just don't bring anything that shoots if you wanna stay on the safe side.. I am wearing the ghillie this halloween.

How old are you guys to be discussing what is appropriate dress up for walking around the mall or in public in general?

Grow up.


As for costume parties with friends, dress appropriate to the sensibilities of your friends. For work, wear a shitty dollar store pirate hat or something tame. Then again, I don't really care if you get picked up for being a douche in public so wear whatever you want I suppose and ignore my stupid advice.


Cheers.


(Now dressing your kid up in cool gear because he/she wants to be an Army dude, now that's just dandy. But remember no toy/fake guns, because they will self animate and kill babies or at the very least implant homicidal thoughts into your kids.)


To the OP.

Again, Dress to the sensibilities of your friends, when in doubt just do it minimalistic-ally, some BDU's and a hat is more then enough to enjoy yourself at a party.
