A TTAG reader writes: “I recently made a target image [above] with the President’s likeness. I was worried that I might be breaking the law. So I asked a couple of employees at the local gun store. “It’s a felony to shoot at a target in the likeness of a President of the U.S.,” they agreed. I called the Lake Havasu police station. They said ” It’s not against any Arizona law.” What about federal statutes? I called another gun shop. The owner said NO it’s not against the law—and gave me a phone number of his ATF guy. The ATF Agent assured me that the image didn’t violate any federal laws. Is that true?”
