I live in Houston Texas. Several months ago I bought an old H&R starter pistol that shoots black powder 32's. I just cleaned it up and wanted to try it out. Is it legal for me to shoot a starter pistol in my backyard? "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" | ||

You would have to check your local ordinances but I would go with no. Most areas around here your not even allowed to shoot paintball or airsoft guns. _____________________________ There is no cure for stupidity, you either die from it or with it. | |||

"Explosive device", blah-blah-lawyerly-detailed words = bad/generally prohibited. When we lived in Western NY in a small village even slingshots and BB/pellet guns were illegal. | |||

In our town anything that launches a projectile is illegal to operate in city limits. I guess that would include spitballs. | |||

Maybe you can go to a running track with it, take a starting stance, fire it off and do a lap around the track?  Like others said, check your local ordinances. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

My answer is, "yes." However, to be legal, (  ); load each cylinder and just before the first trigger pull you must scream, "no, no, no, don't do it." Then pull the starter gun trigger three times . Then; scream, "don't, not again, please" and expend the remaining two blanks. Pop a beer, light a seeegar and enjoy the next couple hours. Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul. Help, I'm having premonitions of future flashbacks. Only in an insane world are the sane considered insane. Some people listen to the noise of the world, And some people listen to the quiet.
