BB Guns

Because hes trying to tell you something..

This is all dependent on the maturity of the child and if they have a parent or someone to teach them the safe and proper way to handle an air gun or rifle. BB guns are NOT toys.

Store it behind the boxes in your closet, or better yet disassemble some of the parts, and put it under the drawer of your dresser or bed frame.

No, only bruised.

yes most will if they are shot

BB guns are a poor choice for killing snakes or rodents. The BB do not deform when they strike and the rodent will suffer. Pellets are a much better choice to kill rodents. Yes the 750 will kill the snake but it may take more than one shot.

Yes, it can be injured but it would probably recover. It may also attack you if it is injured. I suggest you use a pellet rifle. Preferably a .22 caliber.

Without Adult Supervision anything is possible. Is it worth the chance. BB guns are NOT toys.

You will need to contact your local police station. LA covers a large area.

You will be either expelled or suspended.

Even if it isn't actually illegal (which it probably is), you should not do it. A BB gun is not powerful enough to kill squirrels and Mourning doves outright, so a lot of them will go off wounded, which is very cruel, and may make you liable to prosecution by your local ASPCA.

EDIT(JACN85): This is only true however for low powered guns or an inexperienced hunter.

I suggest if you do decide to hunt doves or squirrels, to please practice before you do attempt to hunt. Most guns that have a pump action need to be pumped at least five times to effectively kill a dove and even higher for rodents. Also, learn the different types of ammunition used. I would suggest just using Destroyer Pellets as they can handle both prey easily. Never use regular BB's on rodents, the chances of them dieing is very small, please use hunting pellets or destroyer pellets.

As with any sport, practice it safely. Always have your firearm on 'Safe' until right before you fire, barrel pointed at the ground when walking.

In Wyoming, prairie dogs are non game animals classified as pests by agricultural statutes under the Wyoming Weed and Pest Control Act of 1973. As such they are not protected in any way and may be shot year-round with no license using any type of shot.

no

as long as you don't harm anything, but it HAS to have an orange tip on it.

Basically the same penalties as using a real gun. In 2006, two boys (Ages 13 and 16) were charged with first-degree assault charges (this carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.) The gun they were using was actually only a toy gun, not even a BB gun. I've provided the link to this particular story in the "Related links" section.

I have read that guns that discharge by compressed air are not recognized as deadly weapons or guns; only those that discharge by igniting. Has anyone else found any evidence supporting this?

Aggravated Assault usually requires that the weapon used is a 'deadly weapon' capable of causing mortal or great injury.

It would probably come down to whether the shooting was deliberate and whether they were aiming to injure the target (aiming for the face, etc).

You must have watch the news about the kid who was shot for holding a BB gun in public, You are allowed to purchase and fire a BB/Pellet gun, but can ONLY in private such as your backyard, inside of your home, or in Airsoft events. You cannot fire or show to the public, however you are permitted to carry it in public, ONLY if it is concealed somewhere and not seen by others. Police do not have permission to take your BB gun or arrest you if you are shooting it on your property, but if you shot someone and they file a complaint, then you are in trouble, Hope this Helps :)

By law BB guns are firearms in Australia. If you are 12 then you must belong to a licensed shooting club and pass a test before you can obtain a BB gun. To see more Information go to the link below.

21 years old. It is illegal to even possess one if under 21 unless you are doing one of the following:

(i) the temporary transfer or possession of a regulated firearm or ammunition solely designed for a regulated firearm if the person is:

1. under the supervision of another who is at least 21 years old and who is not prohibited by State or federal law from possessing a firearm; and

2. acting with the permission of the parent or legal guardian of the transferee or person in possession;(

1. participating in marksmanship training of a recognized organization; and

2. under the supervision of a qualified instructor;

(vi) the possession of a firearm or ammunition for self-defense or the defense of others against a trespasser into the residence of the person in possession or into a residence in which the person in possession is an invited guest.

This is a question you should direct to your post office, because the laws are different in each country. They would most likely have a better answer.

Most likely, but who cares protect your little friend.

There have been several models of the marksman repeater. The first one was made in 1955
