I seriously doubt it. There arent any in Detroit. same thing. Just call your local police station first and they will tell you. Make sure you tell them its just for decoration though HAHA!

I think, THINK, and also at least when I lived in Texas (where else! LOL) that if someone were in your home, you could shoot or stab or whatever and/or kill them, but only if it was in self defense. The reason I think this is that I had heard once that if you killed them on your front porch, you'd better drag them inside, otherwise, it was an issue. HOWEVER, you need to check with your local authorities on that rule - especially if you're having a "serious" problem or issue or fear. I do not know this for a fact.......

i just checked into this myself for i live here also, but all you have to do is be shure the buyer is 18 years old,. if its a private sale and your not a dealer you dont have to get a backround for a rifle ,ALL pistols or anything in the pistol class such as a asslt rifles w/ folding stocks must be registered with the local police,...I suggest a bill of sale on all firearms in triplicat at least with one witness so that if anything bad happens with said weapon...say stolen and used in a crime, you are not liable. Rifles are traced by the original sale of the weapon,not by the subsequent sales unless sold by a dealer,or reregistered to the new owner via the police station.

More detail, please.\n\nHere -- which is Ottawa, Ontario -- there are some relatively recently introduced rules about buying knives, which I found out about a few years ago when I wondered about buying a good pocket knife for one of my little brothers -- not to encourage delinquency, but because he was doing the Boy Scout thing.\n\nAll I can remember from that is: you couldn't buy a knife if you were under 18. Given the benign 'Swiss Army' things I was looking at, very odd. I wasn't under 18, but -- if you're an older sister buying 'forbidden'  Xmas presents, that should be a bottle of booze, not something to whittle with...\n\nAnyway, your answer is partially here:\n\nhttp://www.torontopolice.on.ca/\n\nUnofficially, if it's a kid into camping, go nuts. I have, for example, never heard of any restriction on axes.\n\nThat said -- click on 'add details,'' please. What sort of pocket?

If you are just looking for game laws.....your local game and parks will have a book of regulations laws....just check thier web site, or stop by the local office.....

you really don't want to buy used weapons unless you know the former owner (some owners are harder on weapons thus cutting down the weapons life span).  you first need to decide whether you want electric or dry (depends on whether you want to compete and whether your local clubs have electric fencing available).  \nmy suggestion is to get a starter set from one of these places...\nphysical chess\nblue gauntlet \ntriplette\nabsolute\nyou should be able to find them if you put their name in a search engine.

If someones trespassing and means to harm or steal from you, you could get away with it. Say that you thought he had a weapon. Cops do it all the time. Tell the cops you were afraid. But don't shot kids for stepping on your lawn.

I actually have not, but I am rated for double-rapier, which means I can fence (not sport fencing) with two swords. My actual weapon is sabre, and sport fencing will always be my passion, but it's fun to show off at the Renaissance fairs and such with the double-rapier fighting.

Even if you could buy one, I doubt if it would be legal to own one.\n\nSorry.

well you must mean bb gun. first off if you consider it playing you shouldnt even have one. and as far as the state law in illinois when i worked at a gun shop if it had a velocity of 700fps or more it had to be sold as a firearm with the same paperwork and background check as any firearm. state laws will vary though. dont consider it playing though. even a low powered air gun is capable of putting some ones eye out.

You're cool. Just cite City of Chicago stature #389483 that states "in order for laws to be enforced they actually have to be laws, they can't just be shite that your crazy hoe neighbor makes up". If that doesn't work, stature #89683385 states that it is not a crime to "kill old women, as long as 51% of those living within a 5 mile radius find her to be annoying" Another useful stature is #95607973. This states that "16 year old girls can not get pregnant". Happy Drinking.

Easments and other areas of property law vary by state.  You should consult a local real estate attorney.

I did a search on the web & it yielded nothing, so I'm guessing the City of Aurora hasn't posted it anywhere, which probaby means you are going to have to call city hall & specifically ask for the city ordinances thereof...good luck & have fun
