[SJRA-Members] slingshot request

Fri Sep 18 12:35:53 EDT 2015

Bob,

The State of NJ current law considers a slingshot a weapon ( NJ Statutes, Title 2C section 39-1, subsecton "r" defines a slingshot as a weapon - http://law.onecle.com/new-jersey/2c-the-new-jersey-code-of-criminal-justice/39-1.html), therefore I don't expect any one will offer one.  Assembly Bill A4434 was introduced in May 2015 (https://legiscan.com/NJ/bill/A4434/2014 and http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A4500/4434_I1.HTM) to have "slingshot" no longer classified as a weapon, but it is moving at the speed of "government".  All of these quoted sites are a quick stroll through google.  I reserve the right to be wrong.

There are alternatives, like a potatoe launcher might yeild less trouble with the local law.

Regards,

Burton - NJ2IT
