I have bought many Daisy F-16 wire sling shots from Walmart, and as a matter of fact, leaving the house now to buy a few more.

I have bought so many the sales folks ask what I do with them, I have brought them in to show and they were very impressed. I told them the how and why and they took an interest.

If they were close to being against the law in California, Walmart would pull them in a heartbeat.

Actually I partly modified them tonight :- )

Modified Daisy F-16 Slings

Just finished up, about an hours worth of work for these three. Each unit probably cost under $7.00 to make ....$4.97 for sling and about $1.50 for the other paracord, tube, thread and rubber bands ... added an extra .50 just to play safe.

These Daisy F-16 modified slings can do just about anything you can ask a slingshot to do, they can use tubes or flats of any power or size you wish, they are tough as heck, they are thin and because of that pocket able. They are also pretty much impervious to moisture, when the paracord handle is sprayed with some water resistance spray.

One of the best parts is, the quality for the price, the are a shooting machine when set up OTT like this and power rubber tabs (tubes or flats) are facing down .. a smooooth shooter ;- )

BTW: In this photo the forks are facing up, that is the direction the forks face the target when shooting. The attachment method used on these slings uses to fork pointing away from the shooter.

Re-read it, nongame animals must still must be taken by legal method and a slingshot isn't a legal method of take.

The whole reason I first got into this hobby, was to scare off all of the coyotes that would harass me and my dogs. However, I carry marbles, just to give 'em a whack in the hindquarters. I'd hate to have fish n' game witness that transaction, though...
Yikes! This banana republic state is corrupt, mobbed up, insane, backwards, ludicrous, etc. Pay attention to the politics for one second, and you will burn an ulcer in your tum tum, while having a hemmoragic stroke (unless you drink the kool-aid). I will have to stay clear of this thread, as I hear enough about it on talk radio during my 4-5 hours of commute per day.
However! My buddy (Stoney333) once went snowboardin, then to a Giants game, then took a dip in the ocean all in one day...

Penal Code section 12020 makes carrying a slungshot illegal. "Any person in this state who does any of the following is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison:(1) Manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, or possesses any cane gun or wallet gun, any undetectable firearm, any firearm which is not immediately recognizable as a firearm, any camouflaging firearm container, any ammunition which contains or consists of any flechette dart, any bullet containing or carrying an explosive agent, any ballistic knife, any multiburst trigger activator, any nunchaku, any short-barreled shotgun, any short-barreled rifle, any metal knuckles, any belt buckle knife, any leaded cane, any zip gun, any shuriken, any unconventional pistol, any lipstick case knife, any cane sword, any shobi-zue, any air gauge knife, any writing pen knife, any metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica handgrenade, or any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a blackjack, slungshot, billy, sandclub, sap, or sandbag." (Pen. Code, sect. 12020 subd. (a).)

California case law provides a clear definition of "slungshot." In People v. Williams (1929) 100 Cal.App. 149 (Williams), the court adopted the following dictionary definition: "a small mass of metal or stone fixed on a flexible handle, strap or the like, used as a weapon."

Maybe your friend is telling you that, thinking slungshot means slingshot.

With respect to a CCW permit, I imagine that one would be needed if the slingshot was to be carried concealed on a person's body. Just because slingshots are sold in sporting goods stores, does not make their illegal use, legal.
