i totally understand and respect what you guys are saying, but on that note you guys need to see how big, cool, and worry free this place is. i'm talking at least 50 arces. i'll post some pics up here. i train here every other day.

This team prides themselves on respect and integrity. Going to a location that is even a slight bit questionable could potentially hurt the name of OCMI and definitely alter how they are perceived by the general public. When you are part of a team that has high profile sponsors as Tippmann or SC Village. You have to be very careful about everything you do. If we were to go there and that day we just happen to have the cops show up and our gear is taken you know it will be in the news before night fall. Not to mention gear is not cheap. As time progresses with your activity with the team you will learn a lot about paintball and the team, this will better help you with what you are being told by the leaders of the team. Also if you are chosen to join, this will help you to better reflect what the team stands for.

Well put

Just saw this post. Not to drive too many nails in this, I've lived in Mission Viejo (next to Lake Forest), on and off for over 30 years. I've been playing for over 1/2 that time. OC Sheriffs will fine (or arrest) you for trespassing, take and hold equipment until trial, charge you for everything from discharging an air gun illegally within city/county limits, to facing vandalism charges and a handful of other misdemeanors.

My mother has been in real estate for over 30 years and knows county board members, etc. My fathers a lawyer longer... So I know what you can and can not do in MV and OC. I've seen all sorts of land sit for years with nothing on it. I've also seen LOTS of people get into LOTS of trouble on that land.

My advise is to just go to a regulated field. They have staff, equipment and safety all in place.
