My understanding of the text below from PA Game Commissions Regs., is that while you MAY use an air-pistol or a rimfire pistol to shoot ground hogs you MAY NOT use a 5.7x28 center fire semi automatic pistol for the same task. Does anybody read it differently?
(3) Take small game, furbearing animals, crows or wildlife with the following devices:
(i) A manually operated or semiautomatic rimfire rifle or manually operated rimfire handgun .22 caliber or less.
(ii) A manually operated or semiautomatic air rifle or manually operated air handgun between .177 and .22 caliber, inclusive, that propels single-projectile pellet or bullet ammunition. BB ammunition is not authorized.
Thanks very much for your response!
