HB 3109 Firearms; discharging towards subdivision or towards any person or structure.

Introduced by: William R. Janis | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Shooting in certain areas.  Makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to discharge a firearm towards a subdivision within the range of the firearm, or to discharge a firearm towards any person or structure, when no barrier exists that would prevent the projectile from striking a person or structure. With these changes, a locality would no longer be able to prohibit hunting generally within a half-mile radius of a subdivision, but would still be able to prohibit hunting within a subdivision.
