Crawfordsville provisions being repealed...

[bigg cheese]

I recently contacted the City of Cville regarding their repealing of offending gun restrictions, and one of the provisions is repealing the ban on firearms discharge which I honestly thought wouldn't be covered with the effect of the new state law. I thought it was just possession and carrying, not use (which would still be legal with the right circumstances -- self-defence, etc.)

That said, here is the language of that section:
"The following codified sections of the Crawfordsville City Code, are hereby repealed:
...
...
C. Discharge of firearms. No person shall discharge any firearm with live ammunition within the corporate limits of the city except for a duly constituted police officer in the exercise of his duties as such officer."

I just got thinking about this with the other dog thread going on. I love my dog, but if he (God forbid) ever bit my daughter, there wouldn't be a second chance, and I don't want to go to the vet and pay a ridiculous fee for a dog that I will no longer have.

Could I end him on my property?

Federal law?\

Are you referencing SB292? That is a state law.

Fixed

But the same question remains

You are asking if you should discharge a firearm near your friends and neighbors?

Of all the dog shooting threads on INGO do you really want to risk prosecution for . . . Animal Cruelty, Criminal Recklessness, Criminal Mischief, etc.?

I wouldn't kill anyone's dog, even my own. If you want to "put your dog down" then whatever you pay the vet will be a pittance compared to other outcomes.

I was aware of other possible charges such as what you mentioned, as well as possible safety issues, that I would have to consider. I'm just curious about this specific ordinance.

C. Discharge of firearms. No person shall discharge any firearm with live ammunition within the corporate limits of the city except for a duly constituted police officer in the exercise of his duties as such officer."

It sounds like you can't shoot a bad guy who's trying to kill you without breaking that law.

That's really stupid.

IIRC from talking to people on the fire department Crawfordsville's corporate limits extends 2 miles outside of the actual city limits.

You will be OK just use the other ammo, you know the one that is diffrent.

"No person shall discharge any firearm with live ammunition"
