Is it legal to shoot them?
I think my area is largely free of them these days but just wondered,
as one does.

"humane" killing is OK. I know that capture and release is not legal,
though I know (ahem) people who have done that...
Probably the gun is of more sensitive legality than the squirrel!

Locally, grey squirrels have been captured in traps (by 'the
authorities') and what happens to them afterwards is rather vague.
As I know of no place which is a net importer of grey squirrels, I
assume they take them out the back and exterminate them.
As I said, there seem to be none left here but I am just curious.
The gun is only an issue in the absence of a licence :) That said, I
am not quite daft enough to walk into the local police office and ask
if I can wander about shooting stuff.
Licensing of air guns will begin here this year, never mind those that
go 'bang'.

They are very common in farming communities so nothing special.
