Around here it's illegal to carry a slung shot but not a slingshot.

And I want to know if he's had any training on how to use that thing. God only knows how much danger he poses to himself and others because he doesn't have a permit to carry or possess such a weapon. Don't be fooled: a sling shot can be very deadly in the hands of criminal.......

That was great! Thanks TAB. Hell of a thump those rocks can impact with. What now?, the BATF sling shot division?

We used old lug nuts on ours, they were great up close but curved from aerodynamic tumble at distance.

BHO may have to impose a limit on the capacity of rocks one can carry in your pocket...

Just make it illegal to carry and /or own a slingshot and no self respecting criminal will ever touch such a device.

Yeah, right!

Ball bearings. muzzle loader balls, or even marbles make a sling shot an effective tool for hunting small game.

And you know something else? I believe the government mandate reporting the type of material they can be made from and force manufacturers to tell the BATF to whom they sold such material and in what quantity too. And remember since these aren't firearms, the government can do this and it is there right to do it too!

I almost forgot: since the action on these weapons is "silenced" by design, I think they should be considered Class 3 weapons too! Imagine going to your Police Chief to get his/her signature so you can own one of them. It'll be a minor inconvenience. And if one doesn't have anything to hide, they won't care, right?

Slingshots are specifically mentioned in Dutch legislation so it's illegal to own one. Mind you: it's not illegal to BUY a slingshot, just illegal to own and sell it...
