[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Lewiston 9-11-1967 by L.L. No.
2-1967 (Ch. 24 of the 1965 Code). Amendments noted
where applicable]
The Town Board hereby finds that a serious hazard to life and
property exists within the Town by reason of the discharge of rifles,
bullets from which have reached property owned by the United States
in lots 14 and 21, township 14, range 9, of the Holland Land Purchase,
and occupied by a lessee of the Atomic Energy Commission, where there
are stored large quantities of highly explosive or flammable materials;
that the provisions of the Conservation Law with respect to discharge
of firearms do not prohibit the discharge of such firearms within
the area adjacent to said property; that the clear and present danger
to life and property requires the Town Board to take action in the
public interest.
No person shall discharge any rifle within the Town of Lewiston
outside any incorporated village under such circumstances that the
bullet therefrom can, either directly or by ricocheting, reach the
property owned by the United States of America, located in lots 14
and 21, township 14, range 9, of the Holland Land Purchase, or any
other place in which substantial quantities of explosive or highly
flammable substances may be kept or stored.
