So it’s illegal to launch a cannon ball in New Jersey?

‘Men arrested for alleged plan to shoot bowling balls out of cannon’

Four men were busted in New Jersey while allegedly planning to shoot bowling balls out of a cannon — sending a bomb team rushing to the site, according to reports Thursday.

Daniel Galloway, 43, and three pals were allegedly spotted hauling the old-school weapon through a field on a trailer attached to a pickup truck in Vineland Saturday night after reports of a loud explosion in the area, according to NJ.com.

Police, aided by the Atlantic City Bomb Squad, searched the vehicle and found fireworks, along with a box of a powdery black “explosive chemical” and bowling balls, police said.

The men allegedly told cops they wanted to shoot the balls out of the cannon — though it wasn’t clear why, according to the Daily Journal.

(“…it wasn’t clear why” the men wanted to shoot bowling balls from an “old-school weapon”? Because they wanted to, Ms. O’Neill. Same reason people build trebuchet and launch pumpkins and refrigerators. Because this is America.)
