Bradbury Municipal Code Ch. 8 Firearms

No person shall shoot or discharge within the City any gun, pistol, or other firearm, or any air gun or pistol, or spring gun or pistol, without first having obtained a written permit from the Chief of Police; provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to any duly authorized peace officer, while acting in the scope and course of such peace officer's employment as a peace officer, or to any occupant of premises while shooting on the occupant's own premises any predatory animal, bird or creature in the protection of persons or property, or any person over the age of 18 years, or under the age of 18 years, if under the supervision of such minor's parent or guardian, while shooting an air gun or spring gun on their own premises in such a manner as to not create a nuisance or endanger life or property of others.

(Prior Code, § 4180)

The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Firearm shall have the same meaning of that term under the State Dangerous Weapons Control laws and shall include air rifles, pellet guns or BB guns.

Replica firearm includes any device or object made of plastic, wood, metal or any other material which is a facsimile or toy version of, or is otherwise recognizable as, a pistol, revolver, shotgun, sawed-off shotgun, rifle, machine gun, rocket launcher, or any other firearm as that term is used under State law.

(Prior Code, § 4181)

Every person who, except in self-defense, in the presence of any other person, draws, exhibits or brandishes a replica firearm or who simulates a firearm in a rude, angry and threatening manner, or who, in any manner, unlawfully uses the same in any fight or quarrel and causes the victim to reasonably believe that the person is actually in possession of an operable firearm, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
