I ran across a funny thing in coversation about gun laws,hunting and use of bb guns and pellet guns.
I been looking for answers requarding pellet gun use for hunting.
Aside from all hunting laws apply. When I picked the brains of local LEO
he basically refered me to the definition of a rifle per mass law
“Rifle”, a weapon having a rifled bore with a barrel length equal to or greater than 16 inches and capable of discharging a shot or bullet for each pull of the trigger.
In a nut shell he said if it has a rifled bore it will be treated as a firearm?
Ok so am I missing something. Are all the pelletguns sold in walmart smooth bore now ?
If they can apply this definition, would you be in violation of possession if over 18 and no FID ?
Strange..............any thoughts
