The answer is yes, of course.

Here's a link to an attorney's overview of what's prohibited.

Scroll down the page to the "Other Prohibited Items" heading to find slingshots.

New Jersey is a bit of the UK in the U.S. About the only thing you can legally do when attacked in New Jersey is submit and die.

Mrs. Canvasbck and I are heading up to Moutain Top, PA for her nephew’s graduation. The weekend that we are going to be up there, the local IDPA club is hosting their monthly match. I was going to take the BIL to the match. We were shopping around for airfare and flying into Newark and renting a car from there was going to be very cost effective. Is there ANY way to legally transport my IDPA gun and a couple hundred rounds of ammo through Naziland, I mean, NJ?

Newark, Laguardia and JFK are the places that you will DEFINATELY get arrested for any possesion. I would fly into Philly or somewhere west of there instead. Stay out of NJ, NY, CT, MA and DC.

Slungshot--aka "slingshot" or "monkey fist". Commonly associated with sailors, who were known to use them as weapons. Not what we think of when we hear "slingshot" these days, but there are still laws prohibiting them on the books in a number of states (and not all are anti-self defense states--Florida prohibits the,, for one).
