I'm asking this in regards to frogging. The law says you can't have a firearm in your possession while frogging. What about a pellet gun?

Doubt it. I'd take my chances.

Texas defines it as an object that expels a projectile propelled by an explosive or incendiary substance.


Thus air rifles are not firearms here
A hair spray potato gun however, is in fact a firearm.

I would assume LA is similar but you would want to make sure.

Also TX and many other states have been altering laws recently to allow CHL/LTC/or CCL or whatever it is called in that respective state to carry their sidearm despite the game laws.

What about a Super Soaker?

In NOLA they are considered firearms and are illegal to shoot inside city limits; but then again so are HiPernts...

I don't think they are legal to shoot frogs with.
