Introduced
by
To prohibit minors from possessing an air, gas or spring powered BB or pellet gun unless accompanied by an adult. The bill also revises the definition of “firearm” to exclude an air, gas or spring powered gun that fires a projectile larger than .177 caliber (many air rifles and pistols fire .22 caliber pellets).
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To adopt a version of the bill that does not include the unaccompanied minor provisions ("Ralphie's law") but makes the bill part of a broader package removing air guns from regulations that apply to firearms.
The substitute passed by voice vote

To revise the definition of "firearm" in the law that governs pistol sales to refer to a weapon that propels a dangerous projectile by means of an explosive, but not by means of spring, gas, or air.
