Is playing paintball in your backyard in Florida legal?

Answer 1

Well it depends on how big your backyard is and where you live. If you live in a neighborhood chances are your backyard is wayyyyyy to small, but as long as the paintballs remain in your yard and no property is damaged than it is technically legal. Now if you have a lot of property than have fun. Note if you live in a rich neighborhood like a country club or any gated community, old people will probably poop on the party and call the cops, but the cops cant do anything except tell you, you cant shoot anymore.

Answer 2

Yes. Paint balls are fired by compressed air, firearms are fired by means of an explosion, which is defined by Florida Statue as any chemical compound or mixture that has the property of yielding readily to combustion or oxidation upon application of heat, flame, or shock, including but not limited to dynamite, nitroglycerin, trinitrotoluene, or ammonium nitrate when combined with other ingredients to form an explosive mixture, blasting caps, and detonators.

Answer 3

i live in Canada so I'm not exactly sure but its pretty much illegal in every city, province/state and country.... they charge you the same as if you used a regular gun (like the ones that kill so u can be charged, only way to find out for sure is to talk to a cop

Answer 4

You cold not use it with a mask on, so no to play with. As for backyard shooting there should be no problem, but ask (not 911) your local police if there are any county restrictions (not likely though).

Answer 5

Definitely not (thank goodness). I own 2 paintball guns and play at least once a month. There are plenty of fields; paintball is very prevalent here.

Answer 6

It more so depends on your area. Obviously, an urban city like area would cause many problems. Though if you live in a wooded area, most counties do not care as long as you do not vandalize.
