WEAPONS
No live steel (real swords, daggers, knives, metal items with sharp edges). All of these weapons will be secured in a protective covering, such as a sheath and will be required to stay that way for the duration of the Convention. Security staff will have the final say as to the suitability of the protective covering.
Any weapon capable of firing must be rendered inoperable. Each weapon must be assessed by a member of security prior to its entrance to the convention area.
You are not allowed to carry or possess any real working weapons at SEISHUN CON and the Convention Venues.
“Real Working Weapons” include, but are not limited to:
Firearms and ammunition of any and all sorts, rifles, shotguns, hand guns, BB guns, pellet guns, cap guns, paintball guns, blow guns, tasers, explosives, knives, swords (including katana and other martial arts style swords), daggers, sword canes, switchblades, bali-song (butterfly) knives, axes, hatchets, pole arms, staffs, clubs, wooden or metal bats, bows, arrows, martial arts weapons, brass knuckles, chains, whips, pepper spray, mace, and any projectile item, toy or real.
All weapons brought to the convention are subject to inspection.
Weapons sold in the Dealers Room must be immediately removed from the convention area.
PROP AND REPLICA WEAPONS
Prop weapons are homemade or commercially rendered costume props that support the overall look of a costume or character.
Prop weapons made of wood, cardboard, cloth, or foam are allowed at SEISHUN CON but are still subject to inspection.
Specific weapons of a large size (7 feet and over in length) and weight (15 lbs. or more) will not be permitted.
Weapons that are too realistic must be peace bonded or removed from the convention.
PEACE BONDED WEAPONS
A Peace Bonded weapon is an item that has been inspected by Seishun Con security and has been secured so that said item can be recognized as a non-lethal weapon by means of identification.
All weapons are subject to inspection for peace bonding and any item used for such purpose cannot be removed by the attendee. Removal of peace bonding material constitutes a violation of the Weapons Policy and could result in expulsion from the convention.
LIABILITY
WEAPON INSPECTIONS MUST BE PERMITTED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ATTENDANCE AT CONVENTION
In order to protect their own safety and that of others, SEISHUN CON attendees understand, agree to, and consent that, designated SEISHUN CON representatives or security personnel throughout the convention have an absolute right to inspect costumes, weapons, and any other items, and that they will submit to such an inspection. Any attendee must submit their costumes, weapons, and other items to an immediate inspection upon request or must leave the convention. In the event a person declines to submit to an inspection and refuses to leave, they shall be immediately expelled from the convention and escorted off the premises.
Only SEISHUN CON may determine whether any particular item covered by this policy is permitted or not permitted at SEISHUN CON and such determination is solely, exclusively, and absolutely at the discretion of SEISHUN CON. Persons who do not cooperate with the determinations of SEISHUN CON concerning the application of this policy to any particular item may be immediately expelled from the convention. If it is later discovered that a person brought a working weapon to any current or prior year SEISHUN CON, that person may be banned from attending future conventions.
PERSONS WHO CARRY OR OTHERWISE BRING PROP WEAPONS, REPLICAS, OR SIMILAR ITEMS DO SO AT THEIR OWN, SOLE, AND ABSOLUTE RISK, AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF LIABILITY, HARM, DAMAGE, OR LOSS TO ANY PERSON OR PROPERTY INJURED OR OTHERWISE HARMED, INTENTIONALLY OR ACCIDENTLY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY SUCH ITEMS OR THE PERSON CARRYING THEM.
DEFINED CONVENTIONS, INC. IS AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, HARM, DAMAGE, OR OTHER RISK OR LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY PERSON’S USE OF ANY WEAPON, REPLICA, OR PROP, WHETHER PERMITTED OR BANNED HEREUNDER, AT SEISHUN CON.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SEISHUN CON, AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES, OR THE MARRIOTT NORTHWEST HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES HEREUNDER, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SAME.
