Good morning everyone! I have an offtopic question for this forum, but i just cannot find an answer anywhere by myself. I was wondering what are the laws and regualtions on discharge of pellet firingairguns in VA in general and in Fairfax County in particular. I am looking into getting a break-barrel pellet firing air rifle to practice for really cheap and i was wondering is i could legally shoot it in my basement or backyard as long as i provide an adequate backstop. I was thinking of using one of these steel pellet catchers and pad a wall behind it with phone books or plywood or something like that. I heard many times that it is illegal, but when i researched the laws, i couldn't find anything neither in the state law nor in county regulations. Please let me know if you have any info regarding this issue and cite a source if possible. Thanks a lot!
