yup. becka hit it. it is a business that runs war games, but not paintball. they only "play" in groups of four or more, they require specific gear and weaponry, and it looks like anyone who was in or interested in combat might enjoy a go at it. your father might have gotten it from someone who thought it was cool, or he may have picked it up at any number of advertising opportunities (like a mall, a gun show, a sports show, etc.) funny, the things we find in our folks' stuff. i can imagine my kids shaking their heads in dismay at the junk i've acquired along the way. i envision the world's biggest garage sale after i croak!
