Keep saying that cat is a dog folks ............ but it will never be a dog.
A crossbow CANNOT go from being a legal bow and arrow in Arkasnas and cross the border into Kansas and become a NOT bow and arrow based soley on state laws.
Its physically impossible
The crossbow IS a bow - and it always has been and always will be.

I understand what you are saying.....I think. And I agree about the .22 pistol not being an ethical caliber to hunt deer with. I guess what I'm saying is even though it's not a legal caliber or an ethical one for deer that state. And the state deems it that way by making it illegal, it still cannot say it's not a firearm.
I've answered before. I would say a.22 is not a legal (or ethical) caliber to hunt deer with in that state.
The state's definition of legal is the legal definition in the state.

Just like a crossbow.
The state defines what is legal.

The state is NOT saying the .22 is not a firearm. It is not saying the .22 is not a pistol. The state is saying that a .22 is not legal.

I agree when you say a state defines what is legal, but only when it applies to USE IN THEIR STATE but it cannot say what an object is. In this case it can't say a .22 pistol is not a firearm just like it can't say a crossbow is not a bow, but it can make both of them illegal to use in their state.
Do you understand now?

Every weapon in the world that has two working limbs, and used those limbs and the stored energy in them via a string to cast an arrow is a bow. Might be a freaked out bow ..... but that IS the definition of a bow, like it or not.

I totally understand you, BigJ.
You're the one pushing for legal definition, remember?
But now we agree that the STATE will determine whether or not a crossbow should be allowed in bow season.
My state, NY, has deemed it inappropriate for bow season.

OK... enough is enough. This thread should have died long ago. We had more content in the NOTHING thread that was deleted because ..... well,.... it was about "NOTHING". When we got up to 1800 replies or so someone had a tizzy and brought out their CTRL-ALT-DELETE button. I wish this one would at least get locked.[&:]
