Today I was told (by my father) that shooting squirrels/rats/mice with a pellet gun is illegal, even if they are on your property or in your house.
I know it's illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits in MA, but I also know that BB guns and pellet guns do not fall under that heading.
I believe that it is legal to kill rats/mice/squirrels with a pellet gun, but my father insists I would be breaking the law.
Can anyone show me something to prove it one way or the other?
