Just shot my Glock17 Metal from buyairsoft

Thats not gunna go over well...

I agree whole-heartedly. To anyone who isn't familiar with airsoft, and even to some who are, an airsoft gun from any distance can be mistaken for the real thing. If you want to test your new gun out, do it in your basement or in a secluded part of your own home, away from windows.

Treat airsoft guns just like real steel. Would you discharge a real Glock out your door like that?

but what everyone is trying to say. we all know you just got your first gun and REALY want to try it out... see if it works... i know the feeling BUT.. EVEN IF YOU KNOW YOUR NEGBORS AND BEST OF FRIENDS WITH THEM. dosent matter .. you are shooting a gun in your backyard and what if someone was walking there dog by your house and heare the shots or worse yet you don't see someone in the next yard and a rebound BB hits them in the EYE and calls the police tells them they herd gunshots... then your F%$ked.. your gun gets taken from you. you get fines and maby criminal charges for possesion and discharge of a firearm in citty limmits or possestion of a resticted wepon.

get the idea.. DON'T BE STUPID. keep the gun's inside and locked away untill it's game time. then and only then pull them out to test them.

wow...

Umm what about firing ranges?
Posession of a a restricted firearm? HUNH?
A I'm pretty sure it is not illegal to shoot a pellet gun in the city.
No offense, but your argument is a little thin.

No offense, but I'm not going to treat an airsoft gun like real steel. If that was the case, I would NEVER fire it ANYWHERE except at a range or during the appropriate times (self-defense, etc). I'm not going to NOT fire my airsoft gun in my basement or wherever. And I'm not going to keep it in a case and only take it out when I get to a range(?!) or a game.

How about you go into your local police station and ask them. You being "pretty sure" doesn't mean diddy squat as far as the law is concerned. A firing range is a designated place to do so, has safety regulations in place, and everyone in the range is aware of the dangers and has been trained in the safe operation of firearms.

You should treat your guns as real steel in public, because everybody else not related to airsoft certainly will if they see you. Do whatever you want out of public view.

But if you don't believe me, go ahead and wave it around in public. You'll find yourself with 10 warning shots in your back.

Most municipalities in Ontario have bans against discharging anything that fires a projectile inside city limits, except in a designated place ( such as a range)
this includes, pellet guns, bb guns. sling shots, bows, cross bows.. even throwing stones... its a by-law infraction.. subject to fines.

not sure if it is the same in SK

It's not like I'm going to do that though.

Uh.. I vote for a ban right now.

Dude, you've proven you're an irresponsible gun owner.. and it seems like you're kinda proud of it.

Guns should be held with the highest regard, and so should the safety percautions attached to them. If you are not able to follow simple rules, then I don't see why you should be allowed to own a ASG.

[Styrak]

How is only firing a real gun at the appropriate times bad?
And I'm just saying that I'm going to do things like shoot in my basement. I meant that I'm going to take it out and use it in my basement, not just leave it sit.

[IRONSIGHT]

Styrak: It was your initial statement about firing it out your door that sparked this whole thing. If your basement is set up safely and no-one can see you I'm sure you won't have a problem. Wether it's legal to do so is a different story. IMO If you take safety seriously and respect the sport no-one here is going to give you a hard time.
