Do I need a permit to own/use a tranquilizer gun

My Grandmother has ALOT of wild cats out at her place and we are trying to catch them to get them spade/neutered. Traps won't work anymore, the little suckers got smart! I was also wondering what gage darts to use and if I need a permit to get the drugs for them? And how much to use?

Yes, you do.

Just shoot the little bastards problem solved. And yes you do need permits and veterinary licenses to get tranquilizers.

Don't get a real gun unless you are going to practice with it and are responsible enough.

Only need a permit to buy the drugs.

Depending on where you live.

A few states do not require a permit for the tranquilizers

Just call animal control if you are in the city, if your in the country, call the sheriff and tell him they are causing depredation. If you live in a free state he will tell you to shoot them
