Just what is the up to date weapons & props policy for this year's fanime convention???
For my costume I have a lance constructed out of aluminum sheet metal, it has a rubber tip and is about as dangerous as a slice of bread soaked in gravy.
Would the fact that its contructed out of sheet metal matter, as long as its absolutely non-leathal without any sharp edges or pointy areas.
Can be seen here without cap:

Only 5 hours old when the picture was taken, ain't it cute?
Hmm that though i suppose if it had a cap on it or something... but then again im not the one to go to for that
if i bring a weapon, do I have to get some kind of sticker of approval for it? and if so, where do i go to get one?
they stick a peace bond on your weapon like so:

that might be a little hard to read

They peacebond everything that has the potential to cause harm...
even though my yuna guns where so harmless. They didn't shoot and i wouldn't hit anyone with them
one year, they bound my brother's STYROFOAM kunai to his wrists o___o (we had to cut them off later b/c he couldn't use his hands properly with them tied on >__> sorry, con ops...)

New guy here. From my experiences with peacebonding, it's usually a formality for the most part. Props, even harmless ones, are tagged so that other con staffers who see the prop will know that it's been inspected and cleared. If someone brings something that can actually pose a danger, they're usually asked to return it to their room. Of course, your mileage may vary.
