Really stupid of a company to risk a lawsuit over that. It's funny that eye protection is required, but there are none near the product. There have been recent cases at Canadian Tire where ammunition sales have been made to people without a PAL. Bottom line, companies don't care until they are sued. Personally I don't care if some dim wit shoots his Own Eyes out. What bothers me is that the fallout and media coverage may prompt further restrictions of our hobby. If you think a store is selling airsoft to underage, drop an email to head office. You are protecting our hobby. I think that we are one or two well publicized incidences from huge restrictions or an all out ban.
