My pleasure, we are here to help.
FYI locally customs have become tighter in regards to importation of weapons, even props, there is a specific form you must fill out, speak with Jason "Tantaris" on our forum, he will be able to fill you in.
Just to expand on the use of blasters, locally we don't have issues carrying blasters in public (even having photos with police while holding a blaster ) There are only a few events we can't take blasters too, some LFL events, hospitals, Bricktober, Christmas Pageant and at event hosts request. LFL/Disney at times can request we don't carry blasters depending on certain situations around the globe. Some countries and even some states (ie: Tasmania) can't carry a blaster in public and some members have been raided, luckily we don't have that restriction here in the west, but even for those countries which are restricted they still need a blaster for L2 and L3 as these are optional requirements to this detachment.
At the request of legion PR and a preference from LFL/Disney we don't take photos pointing blasters at cameras pointing at people (capture pose)
