Is it illegal to shoot an airsoft gun in edmond Oklahoma

[Fr Mulcahy]

I just need to know if it's illegal to shoot an airsoft gun in your backyard or In a field?

I wouldn't risk it. The discharge of airguns within the city limits is illegal. Also, the Airsoft gun must have an orange tip.

I would not want to be shooting in my back yard and have the police show up to investigate a complaint. They would see the Airsoft and could overreact.

If you want safe practice with recoil, CoolFire in Tulsa makes a simulator that runs on rechargeable CO2. You can add a laser to it to record hits. It's relatively expensive (CoolFire plus laser plus CO2 tank plus consumables), but it is about as real as it's going to get without a projectile.

Drop in recoil kit for your handgun.

We have two of the CoolFires (one for 9mm and one for 45ACP). We did have to change out the recoil springs that came with the CoolFire kits for stronger ones.

This is probably not the answer that you were hoping for, but I have found that weapons and other martial arts are expensive to keep up.

Good luck, and be safe.

Well I’ll be dipped in gravy it does appear to be illegal. Who’d have thunk here in Oklahoma they’d outlaw toy guns.
Found this other OSA thread discussing this same subject and legal statutes are referenced so I’m pretty sure the info is legitimate. It’s a sad day when a boy or girl can’t shoot their BB guns in their own backyard.

I wanna know who let the crazy Californians in! I had to wait two years, have five letters of reference and pass an extensive background check before I could gain entry.

I've been shooting airsoft guns for years, lived in different cities, states, never had a problem. Most of mines don't have the orange tip either. It's a toy gun.

Geezus H Christ you have got to be kidding me. You city dwellers sure do have it rough. I am pretty sure i'd be a thug on the streets too if everything I wanted to do was illegal. Cant play with a toy in your own backyard FTS!

Typical of the "Jeb Bush" red areas...republicans are almost worse than democrats if they are establishment elitists.

I asked a cop friend before and he said as long as the gun was quiet and the projectile didn't leave your yard that unless the responding officer was a jerk, that you would be fine. That was in a bluer area than Edmond.

Having said that, a Red Ryder almost doesn't count, and for the mid-range power pump/CO2 guns, you can equip most with an airgun only suppressor. Also, the factory licensed CO2 pistols make a great "garage range" method for practicing a clone of your CCW.

I have a Crosman 2240 carbine that I use to keep down rodents. It is suppressed and who is to know?

I have several including one I made into a 2250 clone. I've been experimenting with various quiet setups on the 13xx and 22xx series guns. Which suppressor did you go with?
