Notwithstanding any other provision contained
herein, it is unlawful to discharge any firearm or bow, crossbow and
atlatl in such a way as to expose to harm or damage any individual,
dwelling house, residence or other building for human occupancy or
any barn, stable or other building used in connection therewith or
any animal, except as provided in the Game and Wildlife Code of Pennsylvania. It is a violation of this chapter to discharge a firearm
or use a bow, crossbow and atlatl in a manner that is otherwise unlawful
under any state or federal law.
To the extent that this chapter or any part
hereto is in conflict with state or federal game laws or other applicable
state or federal statutes, the state or federal laws may prevail to
the extent consistent with applicable interpretation of the law.
If any provision of this chapter is found to
be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force
and effect.
