Yes, illegal crap happens everyday. However, Airsoft is not illegal. it is not illegal to own, or use, an airsoft gun at any age, however by LAW you cannot purchase an airsoft gun unless you are 18 or older. Within Canada, across Canada, any retailer can import (within the above stated laws, regulations, etc) an airsoft gun from wholesalers, store, transport, and sell said airsoft guns to ANYONE. You do not need a license to own an airsoft gun. You do not need a license to buy an airsoft gun. What you need is to be born no later than 1994 at minimum. Just be of 18 years old or more, and you are FREE to purchase ANY airsoft gun, pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle, helmet, doodad, doohickey, whatchamacallit and thingamajig INSIDE Canada, and SOMETIMES outside of Canada but with much greater risk as they can be seized and destroyed at your expense. Hence why we've been saying to buy your guns inside Canada all day.

Forget all the crap from the criminal code and shit. Just look at this next sentence and understand THAT AIRSOFT IS 100% LEGAL TO OWN WITHIN CANADA'S BORDERS, AND THE ONLY RESTRICTIONS ARE THE IMPORTATION OF CERTAIN ITEMS REGARDING AIRSOFT WHICH USUALLY INCLUDE MOST RECEIVERS, FRAMES, FULL GUNS, AND SOMETIMES CERTAIN ACCESSORIES. In other words, BUY LOCAL.

You don't need a license, you're not going to be hunting deer or rabbit with it. Well you can, but then that's stupidity and animal cruelty since it won't kill them.

For actually possessing, if you're not at a registered airsoft field and you're waving your airsoft gun around in public and people call the cops, yes you will be treated as though armed with a real weapon. So don't be a fool and cover your tool! Gun bag, case, guitar bag, whatever, as long as the gun is fully encased for public transport. I have a buddy who got taken down at gun point for walking in public with a paintball gun in a plastic bag. The damned thing didn't look anything like a real gun, I would know it was MY paintball gun, but they don't take chances when it comes to public safety. ANYTHING else, sir? XD
