Forest Grove Police Log excerpt, 2 May 2018

The selection from the log of local police activity this week is a cautionary tale about knowing the law.

April 26* Two raccoons were fighting in a woman's backyard and she inquired as to whether she could shoot them. She was advised she could not discharge a firearm within city limits.
Please, please learn the laws about firearms if you are going to own them. That includes the applicable federal, state, and local laws and ordinances. I had already looked at the city ordinances about discharging firearms (and here it includes airguns, bows, crossbows, etc.) because I have some annoying squirrel and bird visitors to my backyard.

You can see the selections from previous weeks by looking at any of the past entries of this feature. I suggest last week as a good place to start.
