My buddy recently gave me his Crosman 1088 pellet pistol. Having a blast shooting with it. So far I have killed a squirrel and 2 birds. I live in nj where its illegal to have them unless you have a firearms permit, which I cannot get. I can cross the state lines and just buy one at a walmart if I really want to. I will be picking up a high velocity pellet rifle when I am in Vermont. I really enjoy shooting. Both of my parents are against having guns in the house so I have kept it low key. Once I am in college I'll get a real gun.
