Ehhh that looks like a copper line coming down to the shut-off valve. I highly doubt it's gas. Just crack the valve open a little for a second or two and find out. I promise you won't blow up.

Edit: looked again and now I'm pretty sure it's black pipe with corrosion running down it (that I saw as copper at first glance). If it's black pipe then it's almost definitely a gas line.
