That's a $47k fine right there or up to 2 years in the slammer :(

Still thinking about that option. Place backs on to a lot of uninhabited empty space so no one would be at risk.

You’re not even allowed a potato gun or a glove gun… damn.

Got any garden stakes? How good is your throwing arm?

Oh shit, I've got a potato gun. Seriously, are those things illegal? 😧😳

Oh man idk, I’m getting conflicting info

If it’s so strict I wonder what the ruling would be on those salt guns made for shooting flies. Those seem silly btw. Just a matter of time before someone gets salt propelled in their eyes

After reading a bit, I think it's based on whether it uses combustion as propulsion of the potato missile, whether it obviously looks to be a kids toy, whether it has potential to cause bodily harm or is over a certain size. Was a very entertaining read!

I wonder about net guns. That would certainly make a drone fall out of the air.
