I have never had any problems playing. The key is to make everyone around aware of what is going on.
The people in my neighborhood aren't concerned when they see people wearing full camo and tactical gear carrying assault weapons. They know its just the airsoft team.
The safest place to play is in the woods behind a friend's house or at an actual field. The worst place to play is random public places. That is, unless you notify all the people in the area and the emergency services.
I just got back from an indoor game yesterday in West Virginia. We played in a community field house in the middle of Huntington. We didn't have a problem because the organizers notified the business and the emergency services that we were holding an event there. They also go the permission of the community to use the field house.
The worst thing to do is to try to not be seen when playing the game. Make sure you let people know what's going on and that will reduce your chances for trouble.
