The discharging or firing of a gun, pistol or firearm of any description
at any place within the Borough of Kinnelon is hereby prohibited; provided,
however, that this section shall not apply to any person, association or corporation
who shall obtain the permission of the Borough Council, or such council or
officer of the Borough as may be designated by the Borough Council, to discharge
or fire a gun, pistol or firearm of any description for sport, recreation
or for the protection of property nor to licensed hunters of the State of
New Jersey.
Hunting with a gun, pistol or firearm of any description by any person
upon or over the lands of any other person after being forbidden so to do
by the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee of such lands or without the consent
of the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee thereof after public notice on
the part of the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee thereof forbidding such
trespass is hereby prohibited. Such public notice shall bear the name of said
owner, occupant, lessee or licensee and be posted conspicuously on the corners
of said property, along the roads or highways abutting said property, on all
boundary lines bordering on adjoining lands and at each point where a stream
enters upon or leaves said property.
In any prosecution for the violation of the provisions of §
120-2 hereof, the failure of the defendant to produce a written permit to hunt with a firearm, as aforesaid, upon or over the lands where the violation is charged to have occurred, signed by the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee thereof, shall be prima facie proof that he has forbidden so to do by such owner, occupant, lessee or licensee.
