Hello to all. Been reading all I can find on bowling ball cannons. Has anyone come across info on the legality of firing a cannon in Oklahoma ? Something specific, talked to an attorney, sheriff ? (I don't really want to ask the sheriff ... not yet anyway.) Looks like there's a lot of folks firing cannons, just trying to cover my backside. I understand the do's and don't s with the powder, safety and all that. If I go out to my buddies ranch (Pittsburg County) where you can see for a mile or more and shoot a bowling ball am I gonna go to jail when the law shows up ? Are they gonna confiscate my cannon ? Has anyone had a run-in with the law while firing their cannon ? What was the outcome ? I know I'm gonna go shoot it anyway .. Just trying to maybe cover some bases, have some (correct) answers if I do get stopped. Thank you, to everyone. Enjoy reading the threads, lots of interesting info out there.
(first time to be on a forum, hope I got it right)

I'm guessing it is a bowling ball mortar and they are pretty fun, just don't be an idiot. There aren't really any regulations on muzzleloading BP cannons.

The finger holes whistling while it flies through the air is pretty neat too.

Sometimes on a Friday night when we sit by the campfire on our acreage in the OC (Osage County) we hear a large blast from a long way off. We think maybe it's a celebratory cannon blast at the football field of the nearby town of Prue.
