It's only fun until someone loses an eye
So, could I legally shoot back in MA? ;-)
No. Slingshots are illegal. It was originally written as "Slung shot" (i.e. a sap or blackjack-like item) but "slingshot" was added a while back, as nobody makes a slung shot anymore....
Whoever manufactures or causes to be manufactured, or sells or exposes for sale, an instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as a dirk knife, a switch knife... sling shot, ...shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty nor more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment for not more than six months; provided, however, that sling shots may be manufactured and sold to clubs or associations conducting sporting events where such sling shots are used.
So it's not Mass Compliant?? DAMN!!! I can own an semi automatic handgun but not a SLING SHOT?? WOW!!!!!!! That makes perfect sense to me....
