FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 The Anime Gaming Con implemented a weapons security check on prop weapons for attendees in costume.<\/p>\n
The Anime Gaming Con was held at the Fresno Convention Center.<\/p>\n
The convention was normally held at the Fresno Fairgrounds, but it has gotten so big that the convention moved to the Fresno Convention Center.<\/p>\n
The convention featured vendors, food, an anime car show, a trading card tournament, a gaming corner, a special guest voice actor meet and greet, and a cosplay contest.<\/p>\n
The convention added a weapons checkpoint for props and a dress code as a safety precaution following recent events.<\/p>\n
However, the trend of having weapon checkpoints for props has become common at larger events.<\/p>\n
The owner of the event said the security checkpoint will be implemented in future events.<\/p>\n
Despite the added security, most attendees did not find an issue with their costumes.<\/p>\n
Attendees got a chance to speak with a large list of voice actors.<\/p>\n
