He says it's the only way to keep the house and yard free of "pests" -- should I let him have one?

Careful... that's a slippery slope. Next thing you know he'll be planting landmines around the property borders, complaining that the neighbor's goldfish has a flame thrower, and begging you for an uzi with armor piercing rounds to fend off any hostile armadillos that might invade. He'll want heat-seeking surface to air technology to keep the robins in check and if you don't meet his demands, he'll start dealing catnip so he can purchase his arms directly from the US govt. Yeah... this doesn't look good at all... buy him a new jingly mouse toy instead and give him a few extra scratches behind the ears =)

Just be sure he's on good terms with the neighborhood dogs and really does want the rifle for sporting purposes only. You wouldn't want any "hunting accidents" -- after the third Rover or Fido incident, the police are going to start looking pretty hard at him.

Cats without claws are still pretty good hunters although you SHOULD NOT let a declawed cat outside!!!!!!
He cannot defend himself properly!!!!
Letting a declawed cat outside is like tying your hands behind your back and putting you in a boxing ring to fight someone else.
If you have a declawed cat, and you care about it, keep it inside for it's safety.

It sounds like you have a very powerful, intelligent cat. I'm concerned that, equipped with a hunting rifle and scope, your cat could be extremely dangerous. I would recommend that you NOT equip your cat with anything that would make it more formidable than it already is. Having said this, I further recommend that you lock your cat out of your bedroom at night.

My declawed cat was pretty happy with a sling shot. Start him out slow. It's hard to get shooting ranges to accept the feline guest.

I would recommend an AR-15 with a Acog TAO1 scope, it's not night vision compatible, but kitties see pretty well in the dark.

no try him on boxing gloves and basic cat stance kung fu and work him up to weapons like sticks and then knives and then a good sword if he doesnt take out the trash with a sword then a rifle isnt enough

Give in to the cat and the dog will start demanding a sharp knife and the fish will ask for a tank. Sometimes you just have to be firm and tell him no.
