text: can i shot my airsoft gun in the forest? i am located in az and was hoping to shot bio-degradeable bb's in our forest well as it has been previously stated, the cops enjoy shaking their finger at guns that are full size replicas of the real thing. so if you go to this said forest, where no "yuppies" can walk by and see you, then you're fine. talking from personal experiance, people fear what they do not understand.
