Minnesota Court of Appeals Confirms BB Guns as Firearms

dec 30 2015 The Minnesota Court of Appeals held up a statute that defines BB guns as firearms when it comes to prohibited persons. The decision comes as bad news for defendant David Lee Haywood, 37, who was found guilty of possessing a firearm and now faces a five-year sentence.

Police searched Haywood’s car after discovering that he was in violation of a no-contact order with a passenger during a 2013 traffic stop. A compact air pistol was found in his glove compartment. Haywood was previously convicted of felony drug possession and was therefore not allowed to own any firearms or airguns in Minnesota.

Haywood’s airgun, an Umarex Walther CP99 Compact, uses CO2 cartridges to shoot .177-caliber BBs. The appellate court ruling follows previous decisions maintaining that airguns, when in the possession of felons, are no different then firearms.

BB guns are't toys they are weapons that can believe it or not cause a lot of damage

IDK if I'd classify them in the same category as a .22 though

If they can't kill people then to me they should not be classified as a fire arm.

I guess that means my toy potato gun is a firearm.

[Missourian]

A pellet gun isn't a firearm in Missouri...but it is considered a projectile weapon. And that's a good thing...if it wasn't, I couldn't hunt with one.

 

[Silent Warrior]

We are probably lucky that Minnesota didn't declare them assault weapons.

I don't know if New Jersey's gun laws are worse or just as bad as Minnesota's but an unlicensed BB-gun in NJ calls for a five year mandatory minimum sentence.
