That's true of the spud guns in Ca. anyway. The mortars are not really illegal since they don't use fixed ammo (i.e. cartridge) or have explosive projectile. There are organized cannon shoots in this state frequently.
Having said that, however, there was a case in the Marysville area where a man and his son were experimenting with their BB Mortar on a wild life reserve's gun range. They had not even fired it yet and got busted by some fish cops, got a bad lawyer, and ended up copping a plea when what they were doing was NOT illegal at all. Since I'm in the same county I don't play with mine locally at all.
