B. It is unlawful and deemed an offense for any person to discharge any air gun within the limits of the city on any property, or in such manner that the missile from such air gun shall cross, fall on, or strike any property, real or personal, without first obtaining the consent of the owner or person in possession of such property on which said air gun is discharged, or across which property the missile shall strike or fall on; provided, however, that minors may discharge such air gun on property owned or in possession of their parents, without such written consent, but only if the missile from said air gun stays within the limits of such property.
C. Any person furnishing a minor under the age of fourteen (14) years with an air gun and allowing such minor under such age to use such gun in the commission of an offense under subsection B of this section, shall be deemed a principal in the commission of any offense mentioned under the provisions of subsection B of this section and shall be subject to the same punishments as provided in subsection D of this section.
D. Any violation of the provisions of this section shall be unlawful and deemed an offense, and any person so violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (1992 Code; Ord. 235 §§ 1 - 3, 5, 1954)
A. It is unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to discharge a firearm within the city limits of the city.
