Summary
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.
