How Does The Weapons Check Process Work? Help: Anxiety

[caledfwelsh]

Hey so this is my first year doing anything with a weapon as a prop (Ie a sword and my partner has a sword as well) How does the process work? do we bring the props when we get our badges or do we come back later? Sorry for posting this so late im just very anxious about this.

Hello!! I helped someone with this one post down from this so you can read about the process there! Badge & prop check lines are different lines, and you must have your badge before getting in line for the prop check!

First you pick up your badge. Then directly beside where you get your badge is the weapons check lineup that you’ll go to. You’ll be handed a clipboard where you will write your name and info on as well as what your prop is, colours it is, and what it’s made of. Just keep in mind metal props aren’t allowed! And to read up on the policies to make sure you are good. You’ll sign the back and they’ll take a pic of you holding the clipboard and with your prop visible.
Next you’ll talk with a weapons master where they will inspect your prop to see if it is allowed, then tag it to show it passed.
Hope this helps! My first time checking a weapon was stressful but it really isn’t ^^
