Need a permit to purchase a BP revolver?

[Okie Hog]

In certain states, the is an agreement between states concerning sales of firearms between states.

Yes, i attempted to buy a rifle in Nevada. The dealer was not allowed to sell firearms to OK citizens.

But he could send it to an FFL dealer near you who would take care of the paperwork.

Same here. Is it still illegal to own a slingshot in NJ?

Off subject but the answer is YES

They can vote can they not.

True, but the Constitutional Real American part of the population is a smaller percentage of the whole every year.

 

[Nameless Hunter]

I know NC used to treat a crossbow purchase like a pistol purchase (probably still does).

 

[KEDSFAN]

Off subject but the answer is YES

I found that slingshots are illegal there a few years ago when I was debating gun laws with an idiot. They are also illegal in Duluth, MN. Go figure.

Funny story. About five years ago I bought some items at a sporting goods store in a suburb of Minneapolis. The clerk asked for my ID. Say what????? She had to make sure I was old enough to buy the replacement rubber band for a wrist rocket. I was in my late 50's at the time.

i was working a long term job across the CA line, living in Reno.

In the great state of Illinois you have to have a foid card to purchase even a pellet gun.

So I sent an email to the dealer. He sent me a note saying Minnesota has a broader definition of a firearm than the feds do and it would be illegal for him to sell it without doing a background check. I will continue to ask him questions such as what law is he following since I have never seen any such thing.

 

[Hawken]

He's following their state law, that undoubtedly classifies them as a dangerous weapon.

I mean, they are deadly, I'm sure you agree with that. Right? Some folks seem to think they are toys compared to modern cartridge firearms, but I have found they are quite accurate to great distances, and have yet to find anyone willing to stand down range and let me lob round balls at them.

Show me that law as it applies to BP items, I can't find it

From a Minnesota lawyer:


"NO, you cannot possess and carry a black powder gun without a license.

The black powder gun is an exception to the Carry and Possess law for Antique Firearms discussed above.

A black powder gun in Minnesota is deemed a deadly weapon and an exception to the no license requirements for antique guns.

Minnesota calls black powder guns a firearm which a reasonable person would believe would kill if someone shot you with it."

I was wondering in minnesota can i carry a black powder revolver without a permit its considered antique thanks. No im (justanswer.com)

That applies to concealed/open carry. You can't carry a BB pistol without a carry permit, either.

Look in the Minnesota Code. I suggest making a pot of coffee.

Like Italian spices and Lasagna, I can guarantee they're in there somewhere. Let's not get silly on this. It's a handgun, that can certainly be used to shoot people.

So you can't find the law that suddenly applies to BP pistols.

 

[rescuemike]

Except that this may be readily converted to shoot modern ammo, so it is not considered an antique. This would require a background check.

How do you readily convert a revolver that is 150 years old to shoot centerfire cartridges?

Well first off the burden of proof falls on you, Gus, not me. I'm on your "side", but when dealing with government at any level the rules change.

By replacing the cylinder. I agree that shouldn't be a factor, but it is what it is. They are CYA, not a bad plan in this litigious bottom feeder society.

I have dealt with the government doing construction projects for over 40 years. When a dispute arises I ask them to show the proof in the contract or the law. If they can show proof they win. When they can't show proof I win.
