@pinhead

I hope this helps. This came from the U.S. Department of commerce. Any form of non lethal deterrence is ok by the government. Paintball guns, BB's guns WIDE OPEN, airsoft guns? YOU GOT IT! Non lethal is ok by them. So tony I hope this answers your question to BB guns as they are a non lethal form of deterrence.

@YackDout - Awesome find!

So I wonder *who-trumps-who* in court, The U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) or U.S. Department of commerce ?

Who cares....I say carry a sharp stick, big knife, fishbat er' whatever and protect yourself, your YT and your Yak.

Haze the seals with a FOX40 Whistle....AMAZINGLY LOUD. Blast that dude in the face...hahhahah

In CA ?? The seals win hands down. All animals win. Also in CA anything that looks like a firearm should probably be left at home unless you possess a ccw , then having the cap gun/starter pistol out and somebody seeing it is another story. Better stick to seasoning the bait and or "paddling with intensity". Its been a while since I've been out at LJ but reading about the increase in numbers I can see the concern.

PINHEAD, you do know that hurting/shooting a seal even with a BB gun is a felony.

@Driftwood.

Sure do. You need to read my post from Yesterday, 02:40 PM in this very thread......here it is;

The Act makes it illegal to "take" marine mammals without a permit. This means people may not harass, feed, hunt, capture, collect, or kill any marine mammal or part of a marine mammal.



....sew pretty sure wackin' a seal with a BB Gun is O.U.T of bounds.

Just sayin'.....



All I am advocating is protecting yourself from a seal however you can, if they get sideways on you.
