BB gun in NY question...

Prissy · 12-08-2008, 09:58 AM

I am very curious what if you get caught (by cops) with a BB gun in NY? Do you go to jail? or they'll let you go, I know all BB guns should all have the orange/red paint at the tip, will I get into trouble if I erase the orange paint on the tip so it'll look like a real gun?

ctgazer · 12-08-2008, 10:05 AM

yes you would get in trouble. guessing its not a smart move. why would you wanna do that anyways?

fizzle · 12-08-2008, 10:32 AM

if it is illegal to carry a paintball gun in NYC, i am sure a BB gun is as well.

Why would you even want to carry a BB gun for?

cn555ic · 12-08-2008, 11:07 AM

why even allow the chance of a police officer mistaken it for a real gun and pull a gun on you loaded...just plain stupid...leave it home

Prissy · 12-08-2008, 12:48 PM

no I don't have it with me... but just curious if the charge will be the same as carrying a real one. But it's good to know like you guys said I'll not carry it with me or leave it at home to bust myself.

Don't be like Plaxico!

what good would a bb gun do you?

if you're planning on pulling it out on someone, painting the tip black will a) get you shot with a real gun if the person has it, or b) get you shot by the cops.

even airsoft guns are illegal in NYC.

Alan Newsome never thought his BB gun would kill anyone. When he brandished it in the hallway of his Harlem apartment building, it was just something to help scare some cash out of a burger joint deliveryman. But the deliveryman turned out to be a cop, and when Newsome pulled the fake gun, the cop's partner shot the 17-year-old three times in the chest, killing him.

it can be a class A misdemeanor

Don't even risk something like that... You gotta be crazy to do that. With how up tight people are these days, you're asking to get shot (with a REAL gun).

gtrokin330 · 12-08-2008, 05:16 PM

i got caught with the c02 one when i was 14-15.... cops just took it and called our parents. now if i was 18+ ...big trouble

Prissy · 12-08-2008, 05:38 PM

you guys are misunderstanding me, I was just curious about what would happen... I am not going to risk my life with it so don't worry guys

berniec · 12-08-2008, 08:52 PM

not sure about NY, but in jersey BB guns are considered guns, if you get caught with one, you are charged with the same offense as if you got caught with a 9mm Glock.

Rice&Pumkin · 12-09-2008, 01:58 PM

Depending on what the cops want to do.In 06 I got pulled over with a dozen eggs and a bb gun on holloween.All they did was take my gun and smashed my eggs.Maybe outcome could have been different if it was a regular day.

exidisjon · 12-09-2008, 03:17 PM

If you;re over 18 and carry a BB gun or whatever fake gun it is. Im pretty sure youll get charged with some sort of robbery and get sent to rikers. LOL

Not smart.

Prissy · 12-09-2008, 04:08 PM

I know it's at least 2 years in prison if it's a real gun, you can see that sign everywhere

exidisjon · 12-09-2008, 04:30 PM

Also there is a 50/50 chance you'll wind up shot.
