Legality

[Casper]

Ok i have this neighbor that saying my gun is becoming an issue but really hes becoming an issue for me lol but ya i need proof that these guns are legal i know they are juss incase he calls the cops on me again he called once they didnt come out tho thank god but i have a feeling they will this time so ya thanks.

Where are you shooting? General rule of thumb is if you can shoot a shotgun, its legal to shoot your gun. They can fine you though for disturbing ordinance and disturbing the peace I do believe.

if u checked and its legal, tell him to stuff it, its safe and legal, and show him the atf letter.

Not good advice. Check to see if it's illegal with your local laws. Another general rule is if you can't shoot pellet guns and such, you probally can't shoot a spudgun.

Plus they can charge you with a number of other things if spudguns aren't illegal and he decides to call the cops, but chances are they would just tell you to knock if off (unless you get sergent dick).

I would second that...although I have not had an official run in with the law - yet, I think I am getting close to it...Just do yourself the favor and call the local law - the worst they can say is it is illegal and you will know. I am told that in my area, it is perfectly legal to fire a handgun and shotgun provided I am firing into a man-made bunker of timbers and dirt - when I asked what constitutes a safe enough bunker, the deputy said it was the responding deputy's call...so, yet another law open to individual interpretation - so, if I can fire live ammo into wood and dirt, I hoping the spuds are no big deal - I, myself have to make a second call on this one...

Do the smart thing, and call...

just speaking from experiancs cops even when faced with proff and a letter from the sherrifs department on legality can still freak out and confiscate your guns and fine you alot especialy if the are acting on a complaint
im lucky I have dirt on all of my neibors and we have a agreement on no cops

[Cronic]

Well I would first suggest a peacefull solution. Try to silence your gun check the old posts how to do that and then maybe call you neighboor over and show him how safe and quiet it is. If not and ) doubt he'll change his mind I guess the law is on your side anyway so he can't do anything about it.

My neighbors on both sides have spud guns( I made them) and the next house down works on firearms as a side job.
I live in the country ,about a mile and a half from town and I have had no c omplaints from the neighbors ,but if I did I would be careful and maybe even take the louder ones someplace else ,like maybe a friends house to shoot them. It pays to get along with your neighbors as much as you can. Some of
them might just think it's a firearm if they didn't know it was a spud gun.

If he beat you up he would be the one getting in trouble (assualt? seeing as it wasnt self defense). (get your story together before you post) Kinda silly how you tell everyone that you got beat up. (I wouldnt)

[longshot1068]

The best part is : " He beat US up....." LMAO! isnt there some unwritten rule that there is safety in numbers? and why would the guy thump ya if there was a witness?

All my neighbors all around me get a kick out of spudgun, they like to watch and they even take turns firing it. the 5 0 havent been called yet, but I should call them to see if its ok here.

i've had problems with my neighbours too but i think its just because they're old and crabby. they were trying to object to a pool being built two doors down because they though it would interrupt there vewing area!!!!!! i mean you cant even see the pool from there house!!!!!!! and i think they dont like me firing it because one of them had a friend that was playing around with one at a quarry and he died or something like that.

[Technician]

I live so far out in the country that I hear guns going off all the time. Besides no one will object to spud guns if I keep them on our 6 acres.

[darkpyro]

i live in a street of the to grumpyest people in the world they called the cops on me for fireworks and where threatening to do so for my combustion cannon but then i started to make them pneumatic and they cant hear them any more so they dont care i think most of them think i dont use my cannons any more and i want them to keep thinking that because spudguns are illegeal where i live and so if the cops get called again they will confiscate all my cannons.

i wonder why your gun is becomeing a issue to him, the noise? does it make his dog raise hell? or his wife? have you made a mess in his view? thats a main reason rite there if a grumpy nabior can see the mess !! i garrentee that bugs um. try asking him whats the matter. unless you allready know and ignor it. thats also a pisser offer, can you all tell i've done my share of grumpy nabiors !
