Editor's Note: On 6-26-1928 the Board of Trustees adopted
an ordinance dealing with fireworks and revolvers. The only available
copy of this ordinance reads as follows:
"At a meeting of the Village Board held Tuesday, June 26,
1928, an ordinance was passed prohibiting the sale of fireworks within
the Village limits without a permit; also no revolvers to be sold."
No person shall be permitted to have in his possession in the
open, outside of a building or structure, any air gun, spring gun,
gas gun, shotgun or rifle, unless such gun or rifle is enclosed in
some container so as to prevent its discharge without the removal
of the gun or rifle from said container.
[Amended 4-15-1981 by L.L. No. 5-1981]
Any person found guilty of violating this chapter shall be subject
to a fine of $25 for the first offense and not to exceed $100 for
each subsequent offense and shall, in addition, be subject to imprisonment
for not to exceed 30 days in the county jail, or shall be liable to
both fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the Judge trying
the case; and such violation shall also constitute disorderly conduct,
and the person violating the same shall be a disorderly person.
In addition to the penalties above prescribed, it shall be the
duty of each peace officer who observes the violation of this chapter
to take the gun or rifle from the person violating the chapter and
to hold same, subject to the orders of the court.
