I thought this thread was a joke but now I realize you are serious. I can offer no help in this matter.
Illegal to carry a mini crossbow in public?

I empathize with your predicament. As a solution consider what advice a Real Estate agent might give.
Relocation, relocation, relocation.

So you are telling me....a 14 yr army vet ....has a red card. ...yet I can't buy a shotgun. ...I've handled more weapons in my life than you guys have rubbed ur dicks or pussies
This will become a big issue when I go to buy one
Or have someone buy one for me

Nah dude I know it's lame, the government classes weed in same catagory as heroine with no medicinal value..... It's Fuked up cus that's a straight lie, I wanted to join the Marines but my love for weed... And it's just not right to have to obide by such non-sense laws. Just to keep the drug wars and big pharmaceutical companies going that make the big cash all for their own greed.

But if could carry a crossbow and I still don't yet if its legal, it would be pre-cocked and all I would have to do is whip it out pull an arrow out my pocket, put it in, then I could shoot a bolt every 3 secs at 165fps over a 100 foot long effective range with 12lbs of kinetic energy. It will do in my opinion

It might not be illegal own it's own, but if you aren't a legal patient and get caught with weed and a weapon it could turn into bigger charges.

Crossbows are cool looking. Bad ass. I own one. But, at the end of the day, I think it would be a fine tool for hunting meat should the apocalypse come someday. I just don't think its a very effective weapon. Maybe for a short range snipe, but overall I think it's like a knife in a gun fight. I would not carry that shit. Your just drawing attention to yourself. IMO

And honestly, in most self defense situations, you'll be withing 4-6ft of your attacker, even if they have a gun, a knife would be your best bet..and some big balls to go after them. I've only been in one situation where a gun was pulled, was at a party and the gun owner was extremely intoxicated( older guy on heavy meds because of advanced terminal cancer, along with rec drugs and alcohol)..no one knew he was carrying. Luckily there were a bunch of people around and one of my friends managed to grab the gun out of the guys hand as he pulled it out..one of those situations that went down in 5 seconds but it all went down in slo-mo.
I know you have not handle more weapons than I have dick.

Thanks weed for noting that about getting stopped with weed and weapon, I'll be sure to only carry one at a time. Also grow I understand your concern but I shouldn't draw any attention with it inside my backpack, so I'm good there. As for relocating that's not an option right now as I'm only 20 and half-way through my GED test. And after I get my GED idk what's next i guess flippin burgers until I get some exp to do something else... But that's another story, and like I said I know crossbow is outmatched to guns but nonetheless it's lethal and can kill... That's just my 80lb crossbow there's xbows that can literally shoot through steel doors, I want one of those for home defense... Also I forgot to mention that I want to get some kevlar body armor soon too which i could be wearing under my shirt without it being burn... Most gang members I don't think have body armor...

Couldn't I face a possible a prison sentence if I use a firearm with a Marijuana card in self-defense? I heard feds were cracking down on Medical Marijuana patients form somewhere.. But yeah a shotgun is a must for the house. Might still carry that crossbow tho lol..

Seems like I've heard they are in the process of passing law that makes it illegal for common people to own Kevlar vest so you better buy quick,
I would suggest you take your Pistol Crossbow to a firing range with a buddy that owns a real Pistol, due some competition target practice just between the two of you. Your buddy can start with his pistol holstered and you have your cocked crossbow in your backpack, I would just like to know how many bolts you get off before he unloads.
