Federal law trumps arizona law.
The other day I saw an episode in which someone wanted to have them build a knife that propels/shoots the blade. They told the guy that unless it can be deamed an AOW (any other weapon), which means it must propel the blade by use of black powder, it would be illegal according to federal law. I live in Az. and according to expert counsel we can legally buy, use, own, and carry any knife of any size or type, including switch blades, and yes, propeled blades regardless of what mechanism is used to propel the blade, spring or other wise.
I watch the show now and then but I don't think the host is 100% with his advice and knowledge of federal laws. In that respect, I trust my advisor who is a lawyer that practices exclusively in firearm related matters at every level.
Hope you're not paying to hear that advice.The other day I saw an episode in which someone wanted to have them build a knife that propels/shoots the blade.

My brother in law was recently telling me how awesome the show is, but you just convinced me that he's terribly, terribly wrong.BUYER-"hey will, im a special forces elite covert tactical government contract operator.......and when were out hunting terrorist pirates, they often have time to dodge ouR grenades, because they hear the shots being fired..........is there anything you can do to help me out?"
WILL- "well, ill see if we cant figuh sumtin out.."
BUYER- "oh great, and ill need that within the next 20 hrs..."
[Will goes into work shop]
WILL-" all right yall, we need to build a silencer...."
VINCE-"all right, we have plenty of those, why dont you grab one off the shelf?"
WILL-"well i would, but last i checked, they dont make no suppressors for a grenade launcher......."
KRIS-"WWWWHAT!!!!...THIS IS TOTALLY CRAAAAZY!....I CANT BELIEVE WERE GONNA MAKE A GRENADE LAUNCHER SILENCER!!!!!!!"
So that contraption qualifies as a newly manufactured machine gun, even if the separate shotguns are semi-automatic, right? If so, how does he intend on selling it to the owner of the scrap yard, who I assume does not have the appropriate FFL license? (I know it's TV and they had to "sell" it to him so the average joe would think they could buy one.)
Ever try to explain the NFA to an anti-gunner?
and it seems they will be relying heavily on that storyline in the episodes to come.I have tried to give this show a chance about 7 times now, I want to like it . I haven't been able to get through a episode yet. The last chance i gave the show was during the grenade launcher episode where i had to watch one of his employees flirt with his daughter for half of the episode. I dont know how far it went i couldn't finish yet another episode.... the Show is garbage IMO.

You know the producers of that show are just using them to portray gun owners, and the entire gun community, as a bunch of hillbilly rednecks with very dangerous weapons.
