I keep at least a box of CCI CB's on hand at all times. I used them not five miles from downtown Houston to thin the flea infested squirrel population on a regular basis. Neighbors never complained, I guess they were just used to 9mm, 40 and 45 shots and probably never heard the CB's.
I moved away from Houston and live in the County too, but we are not legally allowed to shoot in the neighborhood because plots are less than 10 acres. The CB's are mandatory for squirrel, coon and possum control.
Just yesterday I was standing at the back door looking at some great tomatoes in the garden when I noticed two squirrels hauling ass with tomatoes bigger than their head. Only picked off one, but the other won't live long.
No way could I get away with the crack of a spring piston air rifle, legal or not they are too loud and accuracy is pretty poor for less than 500.00.
My Cooper 57 and Rem 580 both shoot the CB's great.
