As I answered to another question regarding firearms, I believe it is a federal law that a convicted felon cannot legally own a firearm, as well as those convicted of misdemeanors for domestic violence.
Added: I believe the first contributor misread the question - a BB gun is not a firearm. However - if you are on probation or parole I would strongly suggest you check with your PO about their view of this and, even if it is legal, I would make CERTAIN that it was not a "replica" or real-appearing one.
Most U.S. states do not have a required age for a BB gun. The reason is, a BB gun is not classified as a firearm, so they do not fall under firearm regulations. That said, there may be some states that have stipulations on BB guns, but most don't.
No, a felon may not be in possession of any firearm in Florida. This includes BB and dart guns.
Rhode Island has very strict gun laws (see the link Below) they have classified BB guns as firearms. You have to get a gun permit to own one and go through the regular processes for a firearm to own one.
It's better known as a BB Gun. A BB gun is similar to a real firearm except it uses compressed air instead of gun powder.
A BB gun uses compressed air to push a round steel "BB" out of a smoothbore barrel. It does not have the power, range, or accuracy of a firearm.
A 22 caliber rifle is a firearm and a BB gun is an air gun (Not a firearm) Now if you are asking about a .22 caliber air gun then the difference is in the size of the projectile. A BB is a hard round .175 caliber ball. The .22 caliber is a larger size pellet.
Australia requires you to have a category "A" firearm license to own a BB gun
Pretty much outside the scope of a hobbyist
If it is BB or a pellet gun, yes. A real firearm, no.
No, it is considered a firearm in the same category as its real steel counterpart.
Armed robbery with a bb gun would be the same charge as armed robbery with any other firearm. You will not get off on a lesser charge.
Dan Wesson makes a real firearm. And has contracted Crosman to make a Real BB gun and an Airsoft gun.
