I'll go along with all of what Chriss is saying, and beyond the obvious, heres why.: I belong to several weapons forums ie. guns, pistols, rifels and shotguns, along with AOW's (any other weapons). And I'll tell you this..... man some of those sites are anarchy..... with the places frequented by some real strange birds. Rudness and rants...us verses them and everything in-between. They have virtually turned psycho on alot of issues. There are some with pretty tight rules of etiquit, but that appears NOT to be the norm. I can see how it would go hay-wire here on Steel Soldiers, and personally hope it's never allowed.

I'm like GoHot, with diverse hobbies including collecting National Geographics (complete back to Jan 1906) and repairing 35mm Konica SLR cameras. But this forum is about MILITARY VEHICLES, so I try to keep my posts on this forum oriented towards its intended function, and post threads more related to my other hobbies in places where like minds will gather.
Some times there might be a little overlap between related hobbies, but by keeping posts related to the primary function of a site, it is easier to find information quickly using the search engines to pinpoint authorative sources. (closes 25 cent dictionary and ends rant)

I use my guns on the range, and upon criminals, stupid enough to make me use them, in my lawful profession.
This green truck site is the best one that I have ever been lucky enough to stumble across.
There is no way that I will do anything to put this site in jeapordy.
If I feel like yapping about a range day, or letting off steam about the things that I see on the streets,
that is saved for a very few close friends, in the confines of the mess.
This is not the place!
Park the politics, and let's get back to Big Ugly Green Trucks!

My question would be this! Would it be appropiate to post pictures of replica weapons on military vehicles and with individuals at rallys,shows,etc ? An example would be the Arlington Aircraft Show and Military Vehicle Parade. These weapons are accessories and a part of these vehicles and a part of their heritage. I would think most of them are full size "Replica's". I for one will not jepordize this site and will accept tte answer of the question to my question. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If this question sounds dump then I apoligise.
I agree with playing by th SS rules . I also feel if someone is going to do something illegal , then post it on the web LET THEM , they must be a very irresponsable person and need to be dealt with . That way the ATF will have a much easier job finding and prosecuting them .
In my opinion, if the weapons are a part of the vehicle display and they are shown as an accessory item (as opposed to the primary subject) in the photo, I'd say fine. My avatar would seem to fall into this category and I haven't had any complaints from the Mods.
Ultimately, it's the decision of the management and my opinion may only be worth the bytes it's made up of.
