Anyone know what the legal ramifications are for doing this. ... trouble with the police for this could be a lot more trouble than it's worth.
My old man had one of those. Fun to shoot. Bit of a challenge to hit a squirrel with one, especially if it moves around. Get a .22LR rifle at a flea market for about $50-75 if you want to go Rambo on those fuzzy little buttocks.

You'd want to check the reg.s to find out if you can kill vermin without a license. Even though the rules on shooting/hunting close to occupied buildings may not apply when you are on your own land you might still get hassled if the rounds travel off/through your target and off your property. And, this only applies to outside exterimation.

The OP wants to get rid of -inside- pests. A .22LR will makes holes in his roof even if he does hit the squirell first.
