A. Any adult person may file an application in writing with the Chief of Police for a permit to discharge a firearm. Said application shall be accompanied by twenty-five dollars. Permit shall be in effect for twenty-four hours from the date of issuance. Such application shall contain all information required by the Chief of Police to enable him to determine:
1. The good moral character and propensity toward safety of the applicant;
2. Whether the applicant is of sound mind and not prohibited by any law from the possession of a firearm;
3. The time, place, manner and extent of the proposed discharge of the firearm;
4. The kind or type of firearm proposed to be discharged;
5. The article or material proposed to be discharged in the firearm; and
6. The need for such discharge of such firearm. The Chief of Police shall proceed with due diligence to investigate all matters pertaining to any such application.
B. He may issue such a permit to such person for a period of not to exceed thirty days at any one time, if his investigation shows that the applicant is a person of good moral character, of sound mind, with propensities toward safety and is not prohibited by any law from the possession of firearms and that no danger of injury to life, limb or property can reasonably be anticipated to result from the discharge of such firearm in accordance with such permit and that it is reasonably necessary that it be issued so that the abatement of a nuisance may be thereby permitted or so that the loss, damage or injury of property, including live animals and fowls, may be prevented or stopped.
C. Such permit shall specify the time, place, manner and extent that the firearm is thereby permitted to be discharged and the kind or type of firearm thereby permitted to be discharged. (Ord. 2440 § 1, 1982: Ord. 2411 § 15, 1982; Ord. 1881 § 2(part), 1973).
