The premise is that as long as it does not hurt people, the current law has no clear restrictions on the purchase of slingshots. Slingshot is not a gun stipulated by relevant laws, so citizens are not prohibited from holding it. However, citizens should strictly abide by the provisions of relevant laws in the process of holding, and do not do anything harmful to citizens and society. If holding the slingshot sold by the seller causes injury, it may lead to civil compensation. Generally speaking, it is not illegal to play slingshot on non-special occasions as long as it does not harm others and society.
In any of the following circumstances, it is illegal:
1, using slingshots to hunt wild animals illegally;
2. Use slingshots against state personnel performing official duties;
4, the use of slingshots to invade money, such as using slingshots to smash window glass theft;
5. Use slingshots to disturb people or public order.
