lets get some thing strate non of you know what your talking about, shotguns are not classed as firearms there smothbors, rifles are firearms. Both you requiare a licence for which can be obtained by contacting your local constabulary for an aplication form, then the veting begins (shotgun and firearms certificate) As long as you have the right certificate then every hunnting rifel is legal to you, as long as its endorsed on your licence and you are a member of a clube or have the apropriate land to use it on. There is a rifle for every job from rabbits to foxs right the way up to deer and more

Generally, rifles and pistols that propel their projectiles with compressed gasses (such as air or C02) are NOT legally considered firearms.  That's why you can buy them off the shelf at Wal-Mart with no governmental paperwork.\n\nThe word "firearm" includes the word "fire," implying the ignition of a flammable or explosive propellant.\n\nAlso, the propellant need not be gunpowder.  By the letter of the law, home made PVC spud guns that use spark-ignited hair spray are firearms.

Airsoft was the biggest waste of money in my life I got all the stuff to play, but there were no local leagues or anything so unless you have a local league I wouldnt do it. As far as laws the only one I know of is to make sure your gun has the orange tip on the front...\n\n\n~Johnny

The only national law for airsoft guns is that the end of the barrel needs to have a blaze orange tip. If you take that tip off you gun then becomes illegal. Also some states and cities ban airsoft gun so it depends on when you live so check you local laws. Also there is no law aginst shooting each other with them. Though if a police saw it and mistook it for a real gun you would have quite a problem. That brings me to say that scence airsoft guns are all copies of real guns police officers can easily mistake them for real guns.

What I've heard from our former interns from Australia, guns are banned. The interns were really excited that we actually have shooting ranges here... haha but it IS Texas! So, I don't think there are. I'm realllllly sorry. You should come to Texas sometime just to shoot pigeons w/ a shotgun!! Woot! lol

U.S. law requires the yacht to have an engine to navigate into harbor or close to land. Some other countries do not have that requirement. The yacht in question probably does not have an engine.

Connecticut State law allows police chiefs and state sheriffs to prohibit people from carrying concealed weapons in public. \n\nPolice chiefs and state sheriffs may issue permits that allow people to carry concealed weapons if police believe it is in the interest of public safety. Anyone so approved by local law enforcement must undergo safety training in the legal and safe use of the weapon and there are limits in where they may carry such weapons. \n\nThe only place you cannot carry guns is on state property: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2005/rpt/2005-R-0547.htm

You might find what you are looking for with a google or yahoo search.  What are you looking for?\n\nI did a little Yahoo and found the following:\n\n<A law letting people in Florida kill in self-defence on the street without first trying to flee an attacker has been passed by Florida politicians. >\n\n<Florida has more concealed weapons license holders than Texas, and the Tampa Bay region alone has more than the entire state of California.>\n\nWow, sounds like a friendly place.

Yes\nFirearms Shipping Guide (last updated on 8/13/2005 4:23:56 AM)\n\nOverview\nThis page provides information about Federal Laws, step that must be followed, and notes on using specific shippers when shipping firearms. This page is oriented toward the seller of an item. If you need information about how to buy a firearm through GunBroker.com, please refer to our Buyer's Tutorial.\n\nThis page contains information oriented toward persons shipping firearms within the United States. For sellers located outside the United States, please see our Import / Export Page.\n\nShipping Legalities\nFederal Law requires that all modern firearms be shipped only to a holder of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL). The recipient must be have an FFL; however the sender is not required to have one. Any person who is legally allowed to own a firearm is legally allowed to ship it to an FFL holder for any legal purpose (including sale or resale).\n\nHere is exactly what the ATF 'Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide' (ATF P 5300.4) says:\n(B9) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by carrier?\nA nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]\n\nB8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U. S. Postal Service? [Back]\nA nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. A nonlicensee may not transfer any firearm to a nonlicensed resident of another state. The Postal Service recommends that longguns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.\n\n'Antique' firearms need not be shipped to a licensed dealer. These can be shipped directly to the buyer. An antique firearm is a firearm built in or before 1898, or a replica thereof. The exact ATF definition of an antique firearm is:\nAntique firearm. (a) Any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; and (b) any replica of any firearm described in paragraph (a) of this definition if such replica (1) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or (2) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.\n\nKnives, air guns, accessories, and most gun parts need not be shipped to an FFL holder. We say most gun parts because each firearm contains at least one part that the ATF considers a firearm. This part is typically the part that contains the serial number. This part must be treated as a complete firearm when shipping the item.\n\nAmmunition must be clearly identified as 'Small Arms Ammunition' on the outside of the box. Some shippers treat ammunition as dangerous or hazardous materials.\n\nThe section of the US Code that governs modern firearms is called Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition (CFA). This code is available online at: www.atf.treas.gov/regulations/27cfr178.html\n\nWhen in doubt, we suggest arranging for transfer through a licensed dealer. Violation of the CFA is a felony and penalties for violation of it are severe.\n\nFederal and State Law Resources\nThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has a very comprehensive site containing information about the various Federal and state law

only for the state that you live in.  don't get caught outside michigan with the handgun and a michigan permit.\n\nif you want to go out of state with a weapon, i would suggest getting a federal gun permit, it will cost you $200, but, they are good for 10 years, and you can go anywhere in the continental US with the weapon.  (planes, train, and boats are still off limits!)
