My guess is that the animal would have to be inside the house for me to shoot it with a firearm. This looks like it would have to be FL State Law as the FL Legislature has the first and last say-- as far as I can tell-- on the discharge of firearms according to this FL Attorney General Opinion.

Advisory Legal Opinion - County ordinance re discharge of firearms
OK then,...going by other posts on this forum today,...you could install a doggy door in your home. When the possum enters the house uninvited through the doggy door then you could legally shoot it? Do I have this right?
