I found online these cool replicas that look like real firearms but arnt. They’s replicas and they do fire, but only blank ammunition, since the barrels are all closed up it cannot and will not fire live ammunition. By federal law they are considered non-leathal wepons so you do not need a license to own one. You just have to be 18. well i always wanted a hand gun but not to shoot at anything, just to have like a replica, so that way i dont need to have a license just to have it on the wall, or even to mess with some friends. What is the law on those as far as carying them with you, i figure its a same thing as a bb gun. so what are the laws on carrying those replica guns, bb guns, airsoft guns loaded in possetion or in your vehicle, like in a glove campartment. yes iam aware of people being shot because their toys were mistaken for a real fire arm, but iam not planning to pull and point one at a police officer, but i would scare some friends lol thats evil.

the NRA supports the freedom to own firearms, they also support gun education. you should take an NRA safe hunter course before you ever consider picking up ANY sort of firearm, real or replica. If you had then you would never have written your closing line.
First off, never point anything that looks like a gun at anyone, they could have you charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and if they’re carrying a firearm, they’d have a valid self-defense claim if they shot you.
As far as carrying it on your person, since it’s considered a weapon, you’d likely need a concealed weapons permit to carry it concealed. And in the car, the Glove compartment is a bad, bad place to put it. If a police officer were to pull you over, they’d probably spot it and think you were reaching for it. You might also get arrested if you carry it without conforming to open carry regulations (assuming you don’t need a concealed weapons permit), as a police officer’s job is to arrest people he/she thinks might be breaking a law, then a judge’s job to determine whether a law was, in fact broken.
If you do get one of these, I’d suggest you get one that looks nice, and leave it on your wall except to clean and oil it, or to use it for a film or something else like that.
Oh, and by the way, Definitely don’t use it to scare someone. And again, Don’t point it at anyone. Shall I reiterate? Yes. Don’t point it at anyone, or try to scare someone with it. It’s illegal, and could get you dead.
Sad, sad, sad! It’s attitudes like this towards firearms that give all gun owners a bad name. I am a responsible firearm owner and your question is astounding to me! You need to enroll in a firearms safety course before you even consider touching a firearm of ANY type. The "replicas" you are talking about are meant to be serious tactical training tools and are NOT toys. And, yes, there are in fact restrictions on the purchase and possession of these training tools that vary from state to state.
I’m a prior service military, after my contract was up with the army I gained interest in re-enactment scenarios. With that in mind I’m starting the pursuit of obtaining several front fire blank replica firearms. What would I need to know to basically stay within any guidelines associated with these firearms. I’d like to know what I would be allowed to do as far as traveling..storage and possessing the firearm in general and what I’d be expected to stray from. any comment pertaining to such would be helpful or website as well. I’m a resident of iowa.
I am a resident of Wisconsin and a little over 10 years ago I made some dumb decisions in another state… Long story short, I was convicted of a felony. I am taking a film class and have friends with plenty of backwoods land. Is it against Wisconsin law for a convicted felon to be in possession of a blank firing pistol that can not be readily made into something to fire a projectile? I ask because I want to take part in some short films, but I will be filmed holding it…. I know I cannot get in trouble for a paintball gun or a BB gun, and of course would treat the device with the utmost of respect… I hear a lot of “Its a bad idea” but I want to know for sure. Thanks
