So Envious

How would you like to have these sort of gun laws in WA?
Green with envy!!. Excerpt, below, taken from US air gun site.

"So I was in my backyard doing some target practice since the rain is keeping the Iguanas away. Next thing I know there was like 8 police cruisers out front looking for the guy “shooting a gun”. I told them it was me and it’s “only” an air gun. They came inside, looked at it, gave me a fist bump and went on their way. They said what I was doing was perfectly legal and complimented my setup. One officer said he has a similar rifle and he has a lot of fun shooting it."

There was a time when it was like that here.
Using an air rifle around the home wasn’t considered a big deal.
Have to protect the veggie patch.

Of course nowadays that would make you a terrorist with an assault rifle and you’d probably get a team of crack special forces abseil into your backyard and riddle you with holes.
