§ 15-7.1. Weapons expelling projectiles via non-explosive means.

The release of a projectile from any weapon which uses a non-explosive means of expulsion is prohibited within the city limits, except where such release is aimed at a safely constructed target capable of containing said projectile, so that an errant shot or ricochet is prevented from striking a person or impacting property outside the confines of the immediate target range area. Such non-explosive projectile weapons include arrows, slingshots, blowguns, and the like.
