More details to this question:
I was wondering if my friends and I, about 6 people, can go onto government property and have an air-soft war. We wouldn't be there for very long and the closest house is 1.5-2 miles away. We wouldn't be loud or out there in the middle of the night. We just want to make sure it's okay. Also if you could explain the laws surrounding air-soft guns in Auburn Ca(where I live) that would be great. This is just a preemptive thing because non of us feel like getting in trouble

You gotta be kidding. This is a prank, right? Okay, I'll play along.
I am not a gun lawyer or a criminal lawyer. I don't know what laws there might be about carrying a fake gun that looks very real in public.
You propose to have 6 people approach a government building in open possession of what look like assault weapons, in a county full of hunters and people who own all kinds of weapons for self-defense.
Even if you coordinated such an event with the local police and sheriff, some civilian driving by who saw you might feel compelled by heroism and patriotism to defend his community by confronting you and even taking you out with his own personal weapons.
Such a tragedy could even happen on your own private property. For example, if you and your friends staged such an attack on your own home, one of your neighbors or a stranger driving by might come to the "defense" of your home and its occupants and attack you.
Stick to paint-ball ranges, public shooting ranges, and such venues which are well known and marked for such activities.
If you appreciate this free advice, please remember to refer me to any friends or acquaintances who need a lawyer. Referrals are still our best source of new business.
Do you have a revocable living trust to protect your heirs against probate? Probate takes forever, is expensive, and is annoying. Do your family a favor. Set up a trust, and put all your property, especially any real property, into the trust. Since it is revocable, you can change it, add to it, take property out of it, or even cancel it completely, at any time. We set up such trusts, provide a pour-over will as a back-up for any property that does not make it into the trust, provide you with blank durable powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, in case you become incapable of making such decisions while still alive, and convey one piece of real property to the trust, usually the family home, for $1500.00. If you would like to hire me to do this, let me know, and I'll send you a list of the information I need.
