Odd but I don't know what they base that on. All the local Sports Authority's and Dick's around here have them out on the shelf, P99, 1911s, S&Ws, and full size M16 with plastic shots.

Certain states, NJ among them treat a BB or Pellet gun the same as a firearm and require a FID Card or in the case of a pistol a purchase permit. Sportsmans GUide won't ship because they are not able to deal in the interstate transfer of a "Firearm" remember, no more mail order guns, GCA 1968.

So, you can buy them, but you can't mail order them into areas that consider them to be a FIREARM. As to the CO2 shipping, I think that has to dowith the air transport used.

A public school system that reflects that crappy gun mentality? I'd be moving regardless.
