Since in the PRNJ BB guns are considered firearms does that mean they an only hold 15 BBs legally or is there an excemption?

    They are generally not semi-automatics so wouldn't they be exempt?

    So A bolt actin can have a magazine greater than 15? How about a CO2 gun {semi-auto}?

    I was thinking of the typical pump (break) action BB gun. You know the kind, where you open a door and pour in a crapload of BBs and pump it 5 or 10 times to charge it up for each shot?

    When it comes to BB guns I do not know much about them. I can say that if they have to follow th laws of fire arms than yes you could have a bolt action BB gun with a magazine greater than 15, the catch though is that magazine is not allowed to fit in any semi auto bb gun or it is illegal. If it is semi auto than, no you cannot. This of course is all based only on my knowledge of firearm laws in IN in general, and the assumption that BB guns have to follow the same laws which I do not actually know.

     

    Also it’s not really a big deal but just pet peeve of mine but they would be BB "assault weapons" not Assault Rifles

    There is a bill A524 in the 2012/2013 legislative schedule which proposed to de-classify BB guns as firearms, with certain provisions. Write your assemblyman and state senator and ask them to support it.

     

    I actually mean to make a post about it...

    AFAIK, A semi-auto bb/pellet gun that holds over 15 rounds internally is technically defined in the statutes as an AW in NJ. If you have to pump, or operate a bolt, or anything else between shots, it is not a semi-auto.

    Federal law preempts state law, we had a long discussion about this not too long ago.

    Correct, but you can still get arrested and charged, you would have to use the Federal law in court to defend yourself.

    And then have a good chance of winning a law suit since the state has been enjoined from enforcing this law.
