Please no that I'm trying to argue this in any way, I just want to see if/where an air rifle is defined as a "firearm" and how that pertain to the 500 ft. rule. Here is the 500 ft rule regulation I found, and it only mentions firearms:

500 Foot Zone - It is prohibited to hunt with, shoot, or carry a loaded firearm within 500 feet of any building occupied by people or domestic animals, or used for storage of flammable material, or within 250 feet of such buildings when waterfowl hunting in tidal areas from land shooting positions or from floating blinds anchored adjacent to land or from rock positions, unless written permission for lesser distances is obtained from the owner and carried. Landowners, their spouse, and lineal descendants are exempt from this restriction, providing any building involved is their own. The 500 foot zone does not apply to bowhunting.


Thanks,

As always I appreciate your insight
