My real question is is this considered a cannon? If so what is the legal definition of a Cannon?



 

I think it's considered a "pea shooter"  more than a cannon. It shoots .177 bb's. I would worry about it. I don't think anyone would bust you for having that. It's a great gag gift actually. I might buy one for a friend!

c'maaan..... it's a really fancy paperweight

I'd like to see the look on the jurors faces when you are in court for owning an illegal canon and that thing is brought out as evidence. 

I think you're fine.

I would say that a bowling ball cannon would meet the definition of 'firing a heavy projectile', although a BB cannon clearly would not.  Like someone else said, the DA would get laughed out of court for taking that one to trial.
