Talk:Laws on crossbows

Canadian law

This part now states it is both legal and prohibited to own a crossbow. This seems contradictory. What is the correct law? - Redmess (talk) 09:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

United States law

This section states that "Simple ownership and possession of a crossbow is legal in all states", but the link the reference points to ([6] - http://www.crossbowhuntingpro.com/regulations_by_state.html) says that "Crossbows are illegal. Except for Modified Crossbow Permit." for New York State. This is contradictory - unless i'm misunderstanding the definition of "simple ownership and possession" Walmartshopper67 (talk) 21:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

The Argentinian Section

I feel like there may be some bias here... That and some lack of neutrality?

Self Defense?

What's the status on having a loaded crossbow in someone's home in a city and using it strictly for self defense? I know it would vary by country, but are there any specific laws concerning using it against a person? 198.174.37.44 (talk) 05:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't think anyone actually keeps a constantly "loaded" crossbow at home, because this would heavily damage the string over time and result in a likely catastrophic failure if fired - If the string doesn't break before that, that is. As for your question, i only know about the american "castle doctrine" law where one is allowed to shoot an intruder into one's own property. Other states are much more restrictive when it comes to such things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.254.51.226 (talk) 15:26, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Crossbow is NOT a firearm

Crossbow is NOT a firearm because it shoot arrow, not bullet and arrows are lethal projectile so that mean crossbows aren't classified as firearm. LongnamXL35 (talk) 09:45, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
