Age verification

I know to be age verified you must meet with a rep from your area, but this sounds a little out of the way for me, especially since I don't even know for certain If I'll start playing Airsoft or not. (Probably will).

Is it possible to get a Rep on an istant messenger and show them a picture of my Medicare card + Birth certificate or any other I.D. I may have to prove I'm 18?

I know this may sound stupid and you may be saying ' Ugh what a dumb noob'. I dont realy care, I'm just trying to simplify my life .

Can add anyone on facebook with access to pics of my medicare and birth-certificate.

If you don't have time to get AV'd, you don't have time for airsoft, or shouldn't be playing airsoft.

Montreal is a big place I'm sure there's some AV rep who will Verify you on the way to something or other. eg. Maybe you pass by their workplace or they're heading over to somewhere near your area.

All verification must be done in person, and you can ask them some questions while they're verifying you too.

You can also head out to a game and get verified. Just be sure there's a rep at the field who can do it for you.

I strongly disagree.

Playing Airsoft would require me to alot time out o my schedule and decrease some other activity. Opportunity cost my friend. At the moment, I don't have time to go get age verified by some stranger unless I decide im gonna play and stop doing something else thats important to me

If you truly committed to the sport of Airsoft then you will make time to contact an age verifier.

Otherwise you are a dreamer.

People fly across the country to go to airsoft games. The first two years I played I regularily went 2 1/2 hours to go to a game. If you can't take a couple of hours out of your day to get AV'd, how do you expect to take an entire day to play a game?

No pain, no gain.

I took bus and metro and walk to Bruce's place to verify my age plus I spend 1 hour and half of my work for that time also, I earn about 15 $ per hour so total I almost lost 30 $ but it's really worst.

If you don't have those time to spend, then don't dream to play airsoft.

We're all scarified for airsoft more than you think, not sure how much other scarified but I'm sure that I did a lots.

I've been trying to become an age verifying outlet for a bit but I don't have enough tenure for it yet. It would be very convenient to stop by the store and get age verified however for now it is impossible.

This saturday there is an airsoft event at Mirabel Paintball if you're interested you may come down and meet the players and get age verified over there (bring ID).

I will be sponsoring that event and I will introduce you to the players =)

Definitely.
Propper is some good shit. But f your gonna roll around in the dirt/mud, run, slide, go prone all the time; buying cheaper Chinese stuff and renewing often is better
