I had to spend Friday night and all day Saturday in class learning things like Vectors ๐Ÿ™„

So today, after chores, I had a "Man Weekend" with the boys. First, we shot B B guns, then we watched a "Deadliest Warrior marathon, then we shot archery, and now we are going out for Chinese food 8)

I used to wheel a lot. . .

Sounds like a fun day with the kids. Who wouldn't enjoy bb guns and bows & arrows.

I've thought about getting a couple bb guns and setting up a target in the garage. Unfortunately it's supposedly illegal to shoot bb guns in the Folsom city limits.

Would a BB gun be considered a firearm???
It doesn't use fire...

I find that hard to believe. Unless there is a city ordinance prohibiting it? I highly doubt it though.

I believe there is a city ordinance. I've even heard that airsoft guns are illegal. Of course all of this is stuff I've read on the internet so who knows.

I used to have an air gun that fired darts. We would play darts [with dart board] in the garage. That was a BLAST!

No where do I see anything that would prohibit the use of a BB gun in Folsom. BB guns are compressed air, not elastic propelled or explosive propelled.

Seems like you can make an argument that compressed air is explosive. It's also easy to argue about the intent of the law. My guess would be that if challenged they'd look to past cases. If they've been coming after people in the past they will probably continue to do so. You might be able to fight it, but my guess would be that lawyer fees would add up real quick. If you fought it, you might be able to get out of any sort of fine, but they'd just end up modifying the language to specifically add bb guns.

No worries...now that I know she's the woman and I'm the man...I'm going to tell her to shush up, stop back-talking, and get in the kitchen and rustle me up some grub.

If I don't make it out alive, it's been fun...
