What’s in it

This bill relates to shooting from roads. The bill prohibits a person from shooting any rifle, shotgun with a slug load, pistol, or revolver from any road. The bill defines “road” as the entire width between property lines through private property or the designated width through public property of every way or place of whatever nature if any part of such way or place is open to the use of the public, as a matter of right, for purposes of vehicular traffic. The bill does not apply to any peace officer or military personnel in the performance of their official duties. A person who unlawfully shoots any rifle, shotgun, pistol, or revolver from any road is subject to a scheduled fine of $30.
