With all the excitement/controversy about people killing bucks in town, I figured this may interest some of you. Proposition to remove archery equipment from the definition of "dangerous weapon" when used for hunting or recreation.

I need to start bow hunting so I can smoke a big old town buck! :D

Yes, cities can legislate this as well. However, I think you'd be surprised to see how many cities don't have discharge ordinances. Obviously this won't impact everyone, but certainly will impact many people. And not every city that does have a discharge ordinance considers a bow as part of that.

This could make for some interesting discussions on 'town bucks.'
