Talk me out of buying a cannon.

[Kuntryquesttsi]

I have been looking around on armslist... and I think I want a cannon.
Nothing to large, for now. Is there any legal limitations to owning one in NY? Anyone have one they would like to share ?

Just make sure the cannon you buy holds only one cannonball. Nobody needs more than one cannonball to sink a ship in NY.

 

[Saltwater60]

Now why would we do that. Go for it and have fun.

 

[CaseHardened]

Biggest problem is where to fire it.

You came to the wrong forum if you are looking for people to talk you out of this...

Most of us would probably kick in for ammo and bring food and drink if invited to the "I just got my new cannon" party.

How about the governors mansion?

That would make an awesome rebuttal to anti gunners trying to rationalize why people shouldn’t be allowed to own certain guns..

“You can’t own a tank or a cannon or a bazooka...”

“Funny you mention that, I just got my cannon last week...currently saving for the bazooka”

The FAA has dozens of jet fighters registered to private individuals.

There are so many privately owned tanks that there is actually a market for them.

First thing I would do if I bought that one would be fileing the paperwork to reactivate the cannon.

 

[Twogunwilly]

Do it!

 

[96coal449]

Just make sure the cannon you choose has a neutered bayonet lug.

Dont buy a cannon.

Joe Biden says you need an F15.

[vanderblack]

They cost a lot to shoot.

 

[Steal2B]

You are better off starting with at least two of them ( NY Reload)

 

[Vapor]

I would also suggest a brace of flintlocks and a sword of some sort.

You Sir should be those words shouldn't have come from a pirate a real one would have suggested to pillage and confiscate one with multiple cannons

 

[Deplorable Me]

Just saw a nice cannon yesterday at the National Park Service Museum by the North Bridge in Concord.

To sum up a long story:

Before the War the British gave the Colony in Boston four brass cannon. At the time Boston had threats from Indians, Pirates (sigh), Spanish, French, etc. However, in 1774 tensions with the British themselves were high, and the cannon were stolen.

It was these cannon (and other weapons) that the British were intent on recovering on April 19, 1775 - the day of The Shot Heard Round the World. The Revolutionary War had begun.

The cannon were used by the Patriots and General Washington for several years. Two were lost forever; the other two survived.

The remaining pair Washington had engraved with a brief history and the names of two patriots. HANCOCK and ADAMS.

For many years both were displayed at the peak of the Bunker Hill Monument, until vandals dismounted one and threw it out the window.

Afterwards they spent decades in storage, and were essentially lost. But finally a resident historian recognized them in some state storage facility, and they were restored and given back to Bunker Hill,

Bunker Hill has ADAMS on display in their ground-level museum, and the NPS has Hancock (the one I saw) in Concord.

BTW, the NPS building in Concord had

displayed at the door - Concord is a Liberal Stronghold.

The Gift Shop lacked all Flintlock Toy Guns - I'll bet they used to carry them.

They did sell Lead Musket Balls, Powder Horns, Toy Cannon, Minuteman Statues, and GADSEN FLAGS !

Obviously the Gift Shop Manager is a White Supremacist.

Another reason to go for it.

Wonder if this would be legal here in muzzle loading season....

[Podmonkey]

As a former Redleg I could do nothing less than to enthusiastically encourage @Kuntryquesttsi to acquire a cannon.

So..... Go buy a cannon!!

Let freedom ring motherf#$er!

 

[Bustedknees]
