I was wondering (and excuse me if it is a violation of your pivacy and all that whatnot) where people are in the world. Please post on the poll, and if you want, post more specific information like country or state.

For me, I was born in California but I am know in a boarding school in Switzerland. So technically, I am spudding in Switzerland and in California during the summer

Hehe I was born in Russia and the laws there dont say anything about making home made fire arms. I dont think there is anything against spudguns.
I live in America now (moved here 3 years ago) and no offense to any of the Americans but I just hate the spudgunning laws.
I used to shoot my gun at the park near by. Recently there was a neighborhood meeting and my friends mom went there. She said many people complained on the noise and If I go there to shoot my cannon again I will get arrested. =(

Felex, those aren't 'spudgunning laws', they are violations of city ordinances. You cannot go around doing whatever you please, pissin' off your neighbors. Shooting your cannon where it is a nuisance to other people just gives the hobby a bad name.

I only did it when there were no or only a few people in the park. Sorry for the "spudgunning laws" thingy I am pretty bad at english. But yea I am not saying anything like "boo stupid neighbors", I just didnt know that its not allowed here in USA.

It isn't necessarily the spudguns that are not allowed, it is being a public nuisance period. Shooting a cannon, playing music at 110dB, running around screaming, whatever it is, you aren't allowed to do it if it is terribly annoying.

(Though note, in some places, you could get in serious trouble for discharging your cannon within the city limits)
