狂喜！NH可以用气枪打猎了！

happydad

前段时间被那个弩的deal搞的心里痒痒，于是动了弩猎的念头。网上查个半天却没有半点眉目。
只好发信去渔猎局去问，抱着试试看的心态顺便的也问了一下气枪打猎的问题。
其实以前早就在这看到说不能气枪打猎的信息。这是信件
Hello All,
I am considering moving to New Hampshire, and wanted to find out if I could hunt there with an airgun.  I emailed the New Hampshire DNR and here is the email I received.

Mike,
It is definitely NOT legal to hunt for any species in New Hampshire with
an air gun.  It does not meet the definition of "firearm".  Thanks for
taking the time to check!

结果今天收到了完全不一样的结果。
气枪可以用于small game了。本来也就没打算用气枪去搞big game.
俺很心满意足！

以下是邮件copy

Good Afternoon Happydad,

At this point in time, air rifles are not allowed to be used for deer, bear, turkey or moose hunting.  They can be used for small game only.  Thanks and if you have any questions please let me know.

这概率也太小了吧。
真有那天觉得应该在熊的气枪枪眼上在用手枪补上两枪

开玩笑的啊！

确实是好消息。

马州也有类似的规定：
Air rifles are legal to use for hunting in Maryland and must comply with the rifle regulations. Air rifles may not be used to hunt turkeys in the spring season or migratory game birds. They are not legal for deer or bear hunting because they do not meet the minimum muzzle energy standard for rifles noted below.

这个要赞！
以muzzle energy来确定可用范围，这个太科学了！

今年NJ也允许气枪打小猎物了。http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/airgun_info.htm

Air Gun Hunting In New Jersey

Recent Game Code changes have made air guns legal for the taking of cottontail rabbit, hare and gray squirrel. Modern air guns have sufficient power to take such small game and are quieter and lighter than some shotguns, making them an ideal tool for smaller-framed hunters. Air gun hunting information is now part of the basic shotgun hunter education course, and a NJ Rifle Permit is not required.
An air gun is any shoulder-mounted firearm which by the force of a spring, air or other non-ignited compressed gas expels a missile or projectile and has a rifled or smooth barrel, using ammunition no smaller than .177 caliber and no larger than .22 caliber producing projectile velocities of not less than 600 feet per second measured at the muzzle. Air gun BBs are not legal for hunting. Please refer to pertinent sections of the NJ Hunting and Trapping Digest for more information.

Following is the official Division of Fish and Wildlife statement regarding the use and possession of air guns equipped with silencers:

As per a recent interpretation by the State Attorney General's Office, The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, Bureau of Law Enforcement, is advising sportsman and sportswomen that the possession and use of air guns equipped with silencers is illegal pursuant to New Jersey Criminal Law. Silencers are defined as any device designed to lessen or muffle the noise of the gun discharging. We urge all users of air guns to determine through the manufacturer of the firearm whether or not they are so equipped. The possession and use of such air guns is ILLEGAL.
It is important to note that the ultimate responsibility lies with the person using the gun to determine if it is equipped with a silencer per the law by contacting the firearm's manufacturers.

For more information on the use of air guns for hunting in New Jersey, see the Air Gun FAQs:

注意关于消音器的内容。Gamo Silentcat之类厂家装消音器的非法了。

新泽西能开放在这一步不简单！肯定。
可是气枪不让加消音器，那marauder 那种一体的看来也不行了。

来吧，来吧，俺家客厅地上至少可以睡3个人。反正有暖气。

从俺家后面出去步行450feet 就是可以打猎的区域了。

看了下地图，泥巴嫩在NH西边也不算太远啊，一天打个来回没问题嘛，不用睡客厅嘀
