I got confirmation from the ATF that the spike/muzzleloader canes were in fact classified as "Any Other Weapon" and therefore illegal unless registered. I was pretty sure they would be and of course I never made any
I was working on another project that does an end run around Va's no concealed firearms in restaurants ban using air, so I decided to merge the two projects. In other words a large bore air cane with a spike handle. Virginia also exempts pneumatic weapons from it's concealed weapons laws....(No permit needed)
Easy enough to say..... It's about 9:30 AM and I've spent the last 9 or 10 hours studying large bore hunting airgun design. Some have darn impressive ballistics and people have used them on deer in the 50 cal class.
I have a lot to do today but tonight, I need to build a spike dagger that will engage the valve trigger that I haven't built yet. I like for it to fire when the dagger is twisted. That way the dagger can be pulled out in one motion.
