My brother has owned a .177 pump type pellet gun for 20 years. He finally decided to ship it to me from California to Wisconsin. He told me yesterday he is "bummed out" by all the regulations shipping a firearm out of California. I told him after reviewing the regs on t.h.r. that a .177 is not considered a "firearm" and the only questionable regs I found were in Michigan. Now the last update I could find in the t.h.r. archives was dated around 2010. Has any significantly changed that would cause him concern? I noticed I can buy one off of Amazon and there doesn't seem to be any problem with them anywhere...so is he over thinking the issue???
