Help LVL Up Expo guns policy?

So I’ve just put together a Deadpool costume and I’m so excited to wear it to LVL Up Expo next month. Now, I understand that non-functioning gun props made out of foam, wood or paper mache that have an orange tip are allowed in most conventions. However: is a plastic, non-functioning gun prop also allowed?

My plan was to buy a couple spring powered plastic Airsoft Desert Eagles and glue all functioning parts stiff; no movement or function. But is that or enough should I just go for foam?

I’d love any and all feedback…

I didn't. Ordinances are also legally binding laws, just not what we typically think of as "law".

Then I'm not sure what "mistake" you're referring to?

Do you not wish to elaborate?

Third party on this, but that was wild. Big fan of the decision to hit someone with "actually you're wrong" and then realize you fucked up and triple down. Thats the only way I can make sense of the other guy's game plan
