Oregon Salem OR = Discharge of airguns prohibited?

Portland and many other cities have similar laws. You're generally not allowed to shoot bb guns, paintball, or airsoft guns within city limits. Even if you built a backstop and said it was designed for airgun use, the cops will give you a ticket. Got to love the nanny state.

Even worse, Portland penal code technically places airguns under the category of actual firearms, and all that entails:

Chapter 14A.10 Definitions

I've got an expensive window on the second floor of my house (that faces the street) and it has a BB hole in the outer pane…. it's always the irresponsible A$$hats that have to ruin it for everyone else and cause restrictive ordinances.

Yes, it's true. Salem is controlled by "progressives." There a lot of things you can't do on your own property, like cutting down a tree without a permit. To get one you first have to hire an arborist to certify that there is a problem with the tree, then file paperwork with the city. If they accept the application, you have to pay the city $500 to have the city arborist inspect the tree and confirm the private arborist's report. The city requires that you have a minimum number of trees on your lot, depending on size. If you remove one and fall below the minimum, you are required to plant a replacement. The city has specs for the size and type of tree that you must plant.

Not me, of course, but someone I know used to routinely chase deer off his lot by smacking them in the butt with a pellet, till he found out it was illegal.
