Didn't think you were allowed to shoot from a vehicle?
I guess technically squirrels are a mammal (rodent)........But don't tell this to about anyone that shoots on private land......Also shooting across the hood would be technically illegal in California too. Another common practice while shooting ground squirrels.
So the bottom line is......It's not illegal to shoot from a vehicle on private land, but shooting at a ground squirrel is (F & G code 3002)...... :-[
ps......Just found this......So are ground squirrels a game animal? (mammal).
Carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle on a private road?
Question: I know that it is not legal to have a loaded gun in a vehicle when on public roads and in areas accessible to the public, but what about when on privately owned property where all access is controlled via locked gates? (Scott H.)
Answer: You are correct that it is against the law to carry loaded guns in a vehicle when upon or along a public way (Fish and Game Code, section 2006 and Penal Code 25850). When behind locked gates, however, there are no laws preventing this, although common sense and safety should preclude doing so. Many of the hunting accidents we investigate are caused by people getting into or out of a vehicle with a loaded firearm. Despite this allowance, it is still unlawful to shoot at any game bird or mammal from a motor vehicle, even when on private property (FGC section 3002.)
