[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 52782, member: 562"] So G&F is issuing tags to bow hunt deer in city limits, but you arent allowed to shoot your bow in city limits? I talked to a cop once and he told me ANY missile/projectile in city limits is illegal, including paintball, slingshots and potentially even airsoft guns.... Im guessing this just depends a lot on who you talk to and how big of jerks they are on that particular day. I found this in Bismarck parks ordinances PDF: g. Carry or discharge any dangerous or concealed weapon, or any firearms, gun, air rifle, slingshot or other similar weapon, except for (1) the use of bow and arrow within a designated archery range or with a Special Herd Reduction Deer bow license or a special turkey bow license issued by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department in Bismarck and a trespass permit issued by the Bismarck Chief of Police or (2) the use of approved equipment, such as BB guns, in Park District approved classes. Also found this in bismarck PDF describing laws/punishments: 1. No person may discharge in the city or carry loaded in a vehicle a weapon that will expel or is readily capable of expelling a projectile by the action of a spring, compressed air or compressed gas, including any such weapon commonly referred to as a BB gun, air rifle, pellet gun or CO2 gun. 1. Offense, for which a maximum penalty of 30 days imprisonment, a fine of one thousand five hundred dollars, or both, may be imposed. For a violation of an ordinance enforcing the requirement of 40 CFR 403 relating to publicly owned treatment works or prohibiting shoplifting, vandalism, criminal mischief or malicious mischief, a fine of one thousand dollars, imprisonment of 30 days, or both such fine and imprisonment.
