The short answer is no the long answer is I’ve been doing just that for 30 years

Yeah, but when the MoCo SWAT team comes out, you flash your badge and they let your dog live.
Only the police and military can get away with shooting BB guns in their back yard in MoCo.

MoCo even banned sparklers.
Lol if they shoot my dog that will be intentional as chit. He will run to them tail wagging.
Christmas 1992 i got a 10 pump daisy. 2nd shot i took down a dove. Still feel kinda bad about that lol. When i was a kid we had a cherry tree in the back yard. After about 6 months the birds knew “We don’t eat those cherries between 9am-6pm”.
And... people who are neighbors with the police. I feel sorry for myself living in MoCo, but I feel more sorry for those living outside of the Ag Reserve in MoCo. Conservative holdouts + friendly five-oh = do whatever you want in your yard, just keep it in your yard.
Grew up in the Ag Reserve in MoCo in the late 80s-late 90s. Learned to shoot in our back yard. Shotgun, rifle, handgun, archery when grandma came to visit. No neighbors ever cared because they were all the same way as us. Doubt that it’s the same way there now other than a few generational farms. Too many libs have been buying property there
Depends on where you're located. Olney/Laytonsville? Yeah, too many libs. Damascus/Hyattstown/Barnesville, you're probably still in the clear by and large. I take out any whistle pigs that wander into the yard and nobody complains.
Poolesville/Dickerson is where I grew up. From what I’ve heard, the area has been going left for a while since.
Typical MDS, 4 pages and only a couple correct answers.
If you’re inside what is defined as the Urbana area, No. Google it. Otherwise you’re gtg even with CF up to .25 caliber.
You’re good with any caliber rifle you want to shoot outside of the urban area as long as you are shooting at legal game or a target on the ground that will not deflect the bullet.
Look up the actual law, not the pamphlet moco published that leaves out the hunting and target shooting exemptions to the .25 caliber restriction. I’m sure that omission wasn’t intentional.
They banned sparklers decades ago, I think when I was a teenager

Yea, I think you're right. I've mentioned it on this board a few times since 2013, to drive home the point of MoCo's longstanding, extreme excesses. It still blows my mind. Kids can't even hold sparklers there on Independence Day. How ironic, eh?
When I was a kid in Michigan, little kids routinely were given and encouraged to waive sparklers and participate in the Independence Day celebration on July 4.
Plenty of Maryland counties haven't banned sparklers (and much more blasty fireworks ) to this day. I wouldn't live in one that doesn't. It not only played too big a part of my fonder, early childhood memories, participating in (not just watching) patriotic, celebratory July 4 activities with family and community, but it symbolizes the irrational, controlling nature of Maryland politicians.
After moving to Bethesda as a youngster, I learned immediately that MD in general, and MoCo specifically, were, and are run by a bunch of controlling, tyrannical killjoys. The past 55+ years, with respites in a few free states, have merely confirmed it.
I've NEVER driven into DC and bought fireworks to bring back to Merryland. NEVER!
I've also NEVER stopped at South of the Border, visited Fort Pedro and took Pedro's advice.
But did you vote for Pedro? Napoleon Dynamite smiles.
