California Laws on BB/Air Guns: I currently live in Los Angeles County in the state of California. I've been considering purchasing a BB gun or air rifle for hobby/sport. So far the state and federal government sites that I'v visited make no mention in regards to laws of ownership on these items. Do I have to. Unless you are legally prohibited from owning a firearm in California, you may keep a gun in your house or a place of business you own. And, as noted above, you may legally carry a handgun from place to place in a locked container, or use it in certain permitted activities, such as practicing on a target range.

What is the law in regards to having BB's Guns in your car?
Hello everyone, I live in Michigan and recently bought a CO2 powered BB gun that just looks like a black pistol.
Now I understand that it probably isn't smart to have anything that looks like a real pistol in my car. And I am planning on getting my concealed carry permit for a real gun very soon, I am saving up for it!
But I was just wondering if I did decide to carry it around in my car, is it legal to do so? and if it is under what restrictions?
I can only assume it shouldn't be loaded and such.
Anyway thanks for any information you can give me!
