SC state code of laws section 16-23-450, reads as follows,
SECTION 16-23-450. Placing loaded trap gun, spring gun or like device.
It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, set or place a loaded trap gun, spring gun or any like device in any manner in any building or in any place within this State, and any violation of the provisions of this section shall constitute a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment of not less than thirty days nor more than one year or by both fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court.
What is this law referring to? I can find no working definition in the firearms laws as to what a trap gun, spring gun, or like device is.
The reason I ask is that I saw something, that under some interpretations of this law violate the law if installed in SC. The device I have in question is Link Removed would this device violate 16-23-450?
