This law says where and how you can carry or shoot an air gun (like a BB or pellet gun). It bans carrying them in public unless unloaded and in a closed case, and bans shooting them in most public or private places if it could hurt people or property. There are narrow exceptions for shooting ranges and licensed hunters.
