laws hey!

I wonder what the australian media would make of it if they knew about this whole culture of spud gunning? Nearly every person i know either uses, has used, has seen or knows someone who has a spud gun.

I reckon they would go bonkers over it for ages! anyone agree?

sorry to stop the thread or anything but starting a new topic seemed lame for this question. Anyone know the laws for Canada? If not i'll end up starting my quest for such vital information. :P

I'd recommend that you Google "canadian air gun laws" or "canadian air gun regulations" so you know first-hand what you need to know... The courts don't accept "somebody told me it was okay" after you've already bent or broken an existing law...

CANADIAN GUN LAWS

The good news is that Canadian law allows non-residents to bring ordinary long guns into Canada with relatively little difficulty, for hunting, competition, transport to Alaska, and protection against wildlife in remote areas.

However, all firearms of any kind must be registered and persons in possession of a firearm must be licensed; you should expect to be asked to display your licence and registration certificate, and expect to lose your firearm if you can not do so. The registration certificate would be either a Non-Resident Firearms Declaration or a regular registration certificate. If you have a Temporary Borrowing License or a Non-Resident Firearms Declaration, this serves as your temporary firearms license; otherwise you must have a Possession-Only License (POL) or a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL).

Contrary to what many people have said, and signs posted at the border say, it is possible to bring handguns into Canada, including to transport them between the continental US and Alaska. It requires considerable advance planning and preparation, but it can be done. Signs that say "handguns are prohibited in Canada" are wrong.

The easiest way to understand Canada's gun laws is to think "New York City style." That is: classification of firearms, licensing of gun owners (this includes buying ammo), registration of all firearms, additional restrictions on handguns and certain long guns including how they may be transported and carried, and some guns banned entirely.

Canadian firearm owners are licensed with either a Possession-Only License (POL), or a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL). Non-residents are eligible to obtain a PAL. In addition, there are two special licenses for short-term visitors, the Temporary Borrowing License and the Non-Resident Firearms Declaration.

Firearms are classified into one of three categories: non-restricted, restricted, and prohibited. There are regulations for transport, storage, and display of firearms in each of these three classes.

I read the article which goes on to say :

AIRGUNS

Airguns are:
exempt from most of the requirements of the Firearms Act if "not designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 meters per second (500 feet per second) and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules."
subject to all the requirements of the Firearms Act if it exceeds the 152.4 meters/second muzzle velocity and 5.7 Joule muzzle energy limits. This means that the owner must possess a firearms license, registration certificate, and (if the airgun falls under the restricted or prohibited categories) an Authorization to Transport


Are spudguns classified as air guns and would they have muzzle velocities unedr 152.4metres per second?
