Sourced from primary statutes Last reviewed May 2026

Each region entry, the same shape.

Built to be scanned in 15 seconds and trusted in 5 minutes. Source citations on every claim. Local carve-outs flagged where they matter most.

Possession tier

The headline classification — unrestricted, restricted by velocity or caliber, requires a permit, or treated as a firearm.

Hunting eligibility

What's legal to hunt, minimum muzzle energy, caliber requirements, and which seasons accept airguns at all.

Local carve-outs

City ordinances, county rules, and discharge restrictions that override the headline classification.

Transport & travel

Crossing state lines, flying domestically or internationally, PCP tank handling, and re-entry through customs.

This is research, not legal advice. Statutes change. Local enforcement varies. Confirm with your state agency, provincial RCMP detachment, or a licensed attorney before relying on any entry for a transaction, hunt, or trip.
