Just to add another twist to your original bird problem, you may also want to research what specie of bird it is that you are having or had trouble with and see if it is Federally Protected before you eliminate any more of them... and you may want to think carefully before passing on more bird killing stories, just in case.

SO... the mexican food I ate last night qualifies an a firearm??? It was the compressed gas in my stomach which fired the balled up napkin, through the hole in my desert donut..

An air rifle neither uses an explosion or combustion to propell

An air rifle (gun) does indeed come under state definition as a "firearm". I'm sure someone will come up with the NRS, but it does mention compressed gas, springs etc..

Very interesting for two reasons. First, I agree with the big guy. The way I read the law a LEO could very easily say one is breaking the NRS by shooting an air rifle. The other is this thread is full of past knowledgeable gun owner’s postings whether one agrees with their opinion or not, where did the go?
