Any legal issue to use a "Blue Gun" in back yard

Instead of the blue plastic gun, just grab a spray bottle of organic plant food or environmentally approved aphid killer, and go all tactical on your back yard shrubberies.

So... my AR-15 pen from Canam may or may not be a prohibited weapon.

I can't see it taking much more than 2 years to get a classification though.

This just in

Those with: blue ink - non-restricted
black ink - restricted
red ink - prohibited

Hi
I like to know if there are any legal issue to use a "Blue Gun" in your back yard for movement training?
Thank you very much for your help.

As a matter of fact, blue guns are considered replicas in Canada and are therefore prohibited.

You can’t even buy one legally in canada unless your LEO. I know I tried finding one for the longest time and no one would ship up here or sell to a civilian if it was already in Canada.

At least this was my experience and I was told they were considered replicas.

Well I just bought a "Yellow" rubber 92FS from Canada ammo that I intend to use for my training classes. On sale for $19.00

Not sure where you got your info but your information is wrong. I will add though, I would not run around my back yard playing with my Yellow gun if I lived in a major city. Folks have been shot by police who mistook a cap gun for a real gun. Under the right conditions an incident could get ugly in a hurry. Why be dead right in a cross walk. Just saying.

Take Care

ps I notice you live in Quebec. Your reality might vary somewhat.
 
Just a few years back, in Kitchener there was a high risk take down because a young kid in school drew a picture of their "daddy with a gun to kill the monsters in the house".Teacher called the school board, school board called the police, guess what the results were!
Dragged out in handcuffs, detained for a period and then released. No guns in the house.
But all it takes is one person and one phone call.

Yup. He even got strip-searched for no apparent reason.

I've run into similar but it has nothing to do with them being prohibited in Canada.
Many Mil/LE suppliers list them as items restricted for sale. I don't know if it's a supplier-contract issue or just their decision. I've tried to buy some from local stores in the past and was told they need a department name and badge number to buy. It was a store policy though and not a legal requirement.
They also occupy a possibly questionable spot for export/import considerations. Remember that CBSA wont allow some things even if they're perfectly legal in Canada and many US companies don't want to run awry of US customs by exporting something they may get in trouble for so they are often overly-cautious.

That being said, they are sold by many civilian firearms retailers and have been for many years. If they were prohibited, I doubt a retailer would risk their business license and jail time selling them.

Your "assumptions" and "therefores" are incorrect.

Right from RCMP:

"The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) receives many enquiries from people wondering whether an imitation firearm would be considered a replica if it resembles a real firearm in many ways, but is made of clear or brightly coloured plastic, or has significant dimensional differences. Many of these devices need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. As a general rule, however, devices significantly smaller or larger than the real version are not classified as replica firearms."
 
The statement is deliberately vague to be open to interpretation by the RCMP. I called their "experts" one time to inquire about airsoft guns. Through the course of the conversation and their definition of "replicas", I commented to the tech that by their definition "a broken firearm or a broken air soft gun that is no longer able to fire would be a replica".

Their response was "yes it is possible it could be interpreted that way".
