Question: Are Potato Bazookas illegal?

Answer: Unless there are laws in your city specifically prohibiting potato bazookas, they are not illegal to possess, but if used to hurt someone then the person could be charged with an assault. It's like a hammer, not illegal to possess, but if you hit someone over the head with it, you'll be charged with assault.

I've had no problem. My neighbors encourage it. Despite... the fact that at town hall, a couple thousand feet away, it sounds like a Howitzer.

Our problem was always the neighbors behind us, but they were never sure what was really going on.
