This chapter shall be hereafter known as the "Firing Range Law."
The firing range shall at all times be maintained in a clean and sanitary
manner in accordance with the regulations set forth in the standards for firing
ranges and with other requirements imposed as a condition of granting of the
license.
No new firing range shall be located in any Residential or B Business
District, within 2,500 feet of any residential district, church, cemetery
or school or in any location where in the opinion of the Town Board the establishment
of a firing range would be detrimental to the public interest and welfare.
If the enforcement officer, upon inspection, finds that said firing
range is not being maintained and conducted in accordance with the regulations
applicable to such firing range and the provisions of this chapter, he shall
serve upon the holder of such license or the person in charge an order in
writing directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within
10 days after the service of such order. If after the expiration of such period,
such conditions are not corrected in accordance with the order of the enforcement
officer, the enforcement officer shall serve a notice in writing upon such
firing range owner or the person in charge requiring the holder of such license
to appear before the Town Board of the Town of Marilla at the time to be specified
in such notice and show cause why the license should not be revoked. The Town
Board, after a hearing before it at which the testimony of witnesses of the
enforcement officer and the holder of the license shall be heard, may revoke
such license if the conditions described in the original order have not been
corrected in accordance with the terms of such order or if the holder of such
license has violated the regulations applicable to such firing ranges or has
violated any of the provisions of this or any other local law or for other
sufficient cause.
Any person who violates any provisions of this chapter shall be subject,
upon conviction, to a fine not of exceed $250 or imprisonment for a term not
to exceed 15 days, or both. In addition, a second conviction within one year
is subject to 14 days' suspension of all firing activities; and a third conviction
within one year is subject to license revocation. Every such day a violation
exists shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable as such
hereunder. Any imposition of any penalty or violation of this chapter shall
not excuse the violation or permit it to continue.
