a few rules to lay down...

I will be blunt and to the point as I can with this set of rules for how to conduct yourself in a seemingly harmless nerf fight.

RULE 0: DO NOT BE STUPID
     notice how this rule is dedicated to rule 0. this rule sums up all of the other rules. if you are smart, you do not need the rest of the rules (note: intelligence does not assume smarts.)
RULE 1: CHOOSE YOUR CROWD CAREFULLY.
    my blunt LT says "don't hang with stupid people." the less stupid people you bring along, the less often rule 0 will be broken.
RULE 2: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
    if you have painted nerf guns, are wearing combat vests, or are doing anything that looks out of the ordinary; people will notice and call authorities. It does NOT matter if you are on your private property, have a space reserved, or if you have notified the authorities of your actions. someone who is stupid will notice and become alarmed.
RULE 3: CURSE MURPHY AND HIS STUPID LAWS!
    Murphy's law is always in effect. I had a situation where I reserved a gym at a church grounds (private church property) and there was no Mass occurring at any time that day. someone passed by the gym window, noticed, and complained that we were some sort of "paramilitary" that was shooting guns at each other. this situation was seamless, until a stupid person came unto the scene.

TO CONCLUDE:
    stupid people are everywhere, you cannot avoid them, but you CAN reduce the amount of stupid people who become relevant to you and your nerf fight. take care not to let too many into your battle.
