Pesky Squirrels

I've got a few squirrels living in the walls of my apartment.
Is it illegal to shoot them in a residential area even though they're in season?

I'm sure but who would know? Unless you plan on gearing up with a 12 guage and really going after them..put a rat trap out or something. One of those sticky pads may work.

DO NOT PUT OUT POISION unelss of course you like stinky walls.
FWIW a good upper end pellet gun shot to the head is more than sufficent.

Or those powder-less .22 bullets that was discussed a while ago would prob do the job.

Only if you get caught!
Seriously, I believe the only illegal part would be setting off a firearm in the residential area. Pellet guns, as someone mentioned, would not fall under that rule.

Benjamin Pump .22 Caliber pellet gun..silent but deadly.

Yeah...obviously I'm not going out there with a Benelli, but I figured the Benjamin should suffice.

Benjamin would be the way to go, unless you wanted to call billy the exterminator and get on tv maybe.

I'd be more worried about repairing the bullet holes in all the walls...

"Someone" is wrong. It is illegal to discharge a pellet (or BB) gun within city limits/residential areas.
Parish Ordinance 13:93
a)
Shooting of firearms within the city. It shall be unlawful to shoot or discharge a gun, pistol, revolver, rifle or other firearm within the city except in a regularly established rifle or pistol range built and operated under the proper safety precautions. The prohibition of this section shall not apply to members of the federal, state or municipal government authorized to carry such firearms, when acting within the scope of their authority.
(b)
Discharge of firearms in the parish; definitions; exceptions.
(1)
The discharge of any type pistol or rifle for any purpose by any person within one-half mile of any street, road or house in the parish is hereby prohibited.
(2)
The discharge of other types of firearms, including shotguns of any description which may be used for the explosion of cartridges or air gun, BB gun, gas-operated gun or spring gun, for any purpose by any person within five hundred (500) feet of any street, road or house in the parish is hereby prohibited.
(3)
The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed so as to prohibit any person from discharging a firearm in the defense of his person, family or property.
