« on: November 20, 2004, 10:29:53 PM »
Hey all I'm new to the site but ive read the discussions a lot
One thing that i keep getting mad about (probably everybody does) is the disargeement on the legality of airsoft...Well i did some research
http://library6.municode.com/gateway.dl ... id=default In Chapter 19 Offenses-Miscellaneous Sec. 19-7 Discharge of Weapons states
(a) No person shall, within the city limits, fire or discharge any firearm, including but not limited to an <b>air gun, BB gun, pellet gun,</b> dart gun, <b>gas operated gun </b>or other similar gun or instrument. This section does not apply to the use of any such gun or instrument by:
(1) A law enforcement officer or other duly authorized public official or employee in the performance of any official duty.
(2) Licensed shooting galleries.
(3) Any person to whom a license, permit or authority is issued by the <b>chief of police </b>for the use of such gun or instrument for a valid and proper purpose and for use <u>in a manner not likely to harm any person, animal or property.</u>
(4) Any person when used only for the necessary protection of property, habitation, or person in a manner authorized by the laws of the state or under or within rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the state or of the United States.
(b) Every person convicted of a violation of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall forfeit to the chief of police the gun or instrument so fired or discharged.
I think it sums up that in Scottsdale, we cant play airsoft legally without permission from El Cheifo de Policia himself (No, im not spanish, just white and speak spanglish)
