To the best of my knowledge there is no current ordinance against discharging firearms in the rural area of the Town. I'm not sure what Town employee you spoke with, but I'm pretty confident he/she, along with the ZPD officer, are misinformed. Did they cite the ordinance now in effect re: BB guns, or any firearm noise related issues ? If memory serves me correctly, several years ago the Boone County officials tried to prevent an Eagle Township resident from building his own skeet range on Hunt Club Road in Eagle Township. At the time the site was not in the Town boundaries but is now included in the rural area. The owner refused to knuckle under and took the county to court and won his case. The county then took the issue to the appellate court and again lost. I believe this skeet range is still in operation and being used with some regularity.
I am talking about the urban area. The "airsoft law", as the officer called it, only applies to the urban area, which is where I live.
