No, this thread is not about me. I'm trying to assess how far America (and various state game laws makers) have advanced in acceptance of the air gun as a serious tool for recreatonal hunting. Game law makers have widely accepted archery equipment and just about everything else under the sun for killing game. An arrow scares me a lot more than a BB or pellet whizzing through the air.

I will pose another question here though. Does anybody here believe an air gun, even one with subsonic velocities, is more dangerous, ballistically speaking, in any way, shape or form than a powder shotgun for hunting dove or other fowl on public or private lands?

Air guns seem to be frowned upon by some lawmakers as skateboards are frowned upon by older people.

In short, I see the air gun as the final frontier for American hunting weaponry on dry land.
