Introduced
by
To revise the definition of "firearm" in the law that authorizes hunting and fishing regulations, so that it no longer applies to "air soft" or paint ball guns. Restrictions would still apply to use in the field of BB or pellet guns (precision versions of the latter are often used for hunting). This is part of a package that revises the definition of “firearm” in other statutes so it longer applies to BB, pellet, paint ball or "air-soft" guns.
