Weapons Policy

No weapons: no guns, play guns, gun replicas, swords, knives, lasers, model lasers, or anything that could be perceived as a weapon by the public, will be permitted at Philcon. The Philcon committee has the final say as to what constitutes a weapon. Unfortunately, we must reserve the right to revoke the membership of anyone who refuses to comply with this policy. The only exception is for registered participants in the Masquerade, who may wear a weapon, excepting guns and operational lasers, from one-half hour before to one-half hour after the Masquerade. All Masquerade weapons must be affixed to the costume. Participants may use (draw, brandish, gesticulate with or otherwise waggle about) weapons as part of their performance onstage, but at no other time. Participants in the Costumers’ Workshop may also wear weapons, with the same restrictions, while in the workshop.
