is it legal?
« on: October 09, 2014, 04:36:10 PM »
Is it legal to take grouce with a wrist rocket?  Not sure if this is the right spot for this.
heard this idea on a different thread but figured I'd start my own topic.

this could be a lighter option that my pistol for back country hunts.

Pellet guns are not firearms, so no.
