Sturm Ruger of New Hampshire, the country's largest gun maker, makes a semi-automatic 22 caliber pistol that holds about ten bullets which is excellent for gunning down red/gray squirrels and chipmunks around the yard of your house, plus the bullets are very inexpensive and very powerful as compared to an air gun pellet. Grey squirrels are one tough animal; to get an immediate kill without having the wounded squirrel run off you need to hit the squirrel right between its' eyes which is not so easy to do.

Anyone know what the legal ramifications are for doing this. Is it legal to fire off a bullet at a squirrel from your yard or from an open window because it makes a big sound just like a handgun firing a bullet and getting in trouble with the police for this could be a lot more trouble than it's worth.
