Can you shoot your gun in the backyard if you live in a rural area?

Answer 1

Usually- no. First, hunting and shooting may not be permitted in some areas of higher population as a safety measure. Second, rabbits are game animals, and there seasons and regulation for the taking of game. Hunting season usually is not during growing season for a garden. In some severe cases, the authorities may issue a permit to destroy animals that are damaging a crop- but that is rare, and you would need to check with the game wardens in your area. There ARE rabbit repellent products you can buy and use on your garden.
