Those groups that held re-enactments of the battles of the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 have found out, in no uncertain terms, that Gov. Hochul has outlawed doing those re-enactments.
Unless they want to do them with rubber guns and wooden cannon, of course. Which isn't going to draw in the tourists who want to see the smoke and hear the cannons' roar. Otherwise, it'll look like a Ren Faire with Redcoats.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Nearly one third of all the battles fought during the American Revolution were fought in New York State. The capture of Fort Ticonderoga, the Battles of Oriskany, Newtown and Saratoga are just a few of the major events that took place on New York soil.

I'm just saying, I go cosplaying at comic cons dressed as a Jedi but I never brought a real lightsaber with me.
ReplyDeleteRe-enactors can work with plastic and rubber facsimiles without it being a hassle. Lighten up.
Paul, that's pretty weak. There's no such thing as a real light saber, or any sort of blaster. Nobody expects those things to work.
ReplyDeleteAt a re-enactment of a historical colonial American or Civil War battle, people expect to see the guns shoot, feel the concussion of the cannons firing and smell the black powder. They're not re-enacting Roman battles or jousting matches.
They want to watch War from the safety of the sidelines. I have it on good confidence they wouldn't be so keen on it if they were out in the middle of it. Jousting is cool.
ReplyDeleteI always leave my light-saber at home, fergoodnesssakes, wouldn't want anybody to know about it ...
I wonder if a Honor guard with a gun salute for
ReplyDeletea veteran in NY is allowed.
NY is just being vengeful and ends up looking damn silly.
Glad I got to see all of those in the past before
it was was banned. Ticonderoga was a favorite.
