Is it a crime to own bullets? |
[Edit] |
Answer
It depends on what you mean "bullets", where you are, and how you acquired them. If you dug up bullets on an old battlefield, there may be laws that make them the property of the landowner or the local historical commission.
If you refer to live firearm cartridges that contain gunpowder and a bullet, then your local firearms statutes and regulations will tell you whether you can purchase or possess them. In some states you can "own" them, but you cannot carry them outside your home without a license to carry firearms or at least a firearms identification card. In other places, you can buy and possess bullets (cartridges) without a license, but only if you're over 18 years old and show local identification as proof.
