Answer 1

it can be if you do not have a barrel bag on, or if it is loaded in public. if you have it on your property, or at a paint ball field, its no big deal

Answer 2

actually if your at a field its legal there not firearms they are air guns because they use air to launch a BB Airsoft pellet or Paintball and a fire arm uses a firing pin toignite gunpowder to launch a projectile (BULLET)
