Legality of Child in possession of firearm.

If the barrel is welded shut - it is not a firearm. But some idiots may be scared!
Exactly. It may not be illegal but you will be guilty until you prove it. I had never thought of it. When I was young we had good guns through out the house. My 20 gauge lived in my room behind the door.
 
Had the cops called on me when I was teenager back in the '90s because I was seen crossing a road that divides our property while carrying my Ruger 10/22 with scope and a 25 round magazine in it. Sheriff deputy stopped and ran the serial number, then gave me a ride back to the house to check with my grandparents that I had permission to be out there with my gun.

I used to walk across Hwy 300 in south GA with either my 10/22 or a 12 gauge shotgun pretty often during hunting season before I was able to drive and never had any other issues. That being said, it was a pretty rural area of south GA during the early '90s.
