United States
All 50 states + DC. Federal baseline, statutory-firearm carve-outs (NJ, RI), city ordinances (Chicago, Philadelphia, Portland, NYC), and hunting energy minimums per state.
Canada
All 10 provinces + 3 territories. Federal 500 fps / 5.7 J firearms threshold, replica firearm rules, provincial transport regulations, and hunting eligibility by province.
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 main 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.
