BB guns are also considered firearms under some sections of state law, such as discharge laws if I remember my readings correctly.
Some felons have also been found to be "in posesession" for using those Remington nail guns that are powered by a .22 cartridge, even though there is no bullet. |

Nerf guns meet the definition of a firearm in MN. Paintball gun, sling shot possibly. Seriously. Its bullshit.

Seems like they wanted to throw the book at him, and this interpretation might come to bite them later.
Like what about all the stores that aren't FFLs that have flare guns in stock? |

In case anybody was curious:
624.712 DEFINITIONS. Subdivision 1.Scope. As used in sections 624.711 to 624.717, the terms defined in this section shall have the meanings given them. Subd. 2.Pistol. "Pistol" includes a weapon designed to be fired by the use of a single hand and with an overall length less than 26 inches, or having a barrel or barrels of a length less than 18 inches in the case of a shotgun or having a barrel of a length less than 16 inches in the case of a rifle (1) from which may be fired or ejected one or more solid projectiles by means of a cartridge or shell or by the action of an explosive or the igniting of flammable or explosive substances; or (2) for which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, air or other gas, or vapor. "Pistol" does not include a device firing or ejecting a shot measuring .18 of an inch, or less, in diameter and commonly known as a "BB gun," a scuba gun, a stud gun or nail gun used in the construction industry or children's pop guns or toys.----This part was added due to a MN Supreme Court case. What about paintball guns? Are those toys? A pistol cross-bow fits nicely in this description. The whole fucking world knows what a firearm is. Adding that 'anything that propels a thing using nearly any energy source at all' bullshit needs to go. Its a fucking "gotch-ya" law if I've ever seen one. |

Is a recurve bow considered a spring? Afterall, Bear Archery made the fiberglass springs used in early Chevy Corvettes. I used to open carry my Bear recurve without a permit! :O
