game within the City limits.

reptiles with any type of firearm, bow and arrow, crossbows, slingshots,
boomerangs, or any other type of propelled device within the City

entity obtains written permission from the City. No person shall shoot,
discharge, or explode any type of firearm, weapon, crossbow, slingshot,
or boomerang or any other type of propelled weapon or device within
the corporate limits of the City of Isanti without first obtaining
