I think you have answered your own question. If you’re caught by the police in NJ with a BB gun, and don’t have the appropriate licensing for a firearm, you will be charged under firearm laws.I wonder what a full auto BB gun in a state like NJ would result in.
As a kid in NJ back in the 70's we all had bb guns, I still have my break barrel rifle that was the first I shot.
Still pumps up great.
"In New Jersey, a BB gun, pellet gun or airgun is defined as a “firearm” that falls under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5. The result is that it is illegal to possess a handgun, rifle or shotgun of this nature except in accordance with the licensing, use and transport laws for firearms."
I'm just wondering if a full auto BB gun would result in more jail time being an automatic weapon.I think you have answered your own question. If you’re caught by the police in NJ with a BB gun, and don’t have the appropriate licensing for a firearm, you will be charged under firearm laws.
Me, too. But in the case of New Jersey and firearms, I would go with the worst case scenario. That state has a history of draconian interpretation and enforcement.I'm just wondering if a full auto BB gun would result in more jail time being an automatic weapon.
