(KAIR)--The discharge of any firearm, regardless of design, is off limits in the City of Atchison.
Two city residents, 24-year-old Marcus Williams and 23-year-old Isiah Williams, have received a reminder of that ordinance when ticketed for such a discharge.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the two were issued notices to appear in court, both for unlawful discharge of a BB gun and for criminal damage to property, with the alleged crimes happening June 3 in the 1100 block of Kearney Street.
The City's ordinance explains that all firearms, including any air gun, such as BB guns, Airsoft guns, pellet guns, and paint ball guns, are illegal to fire within the city limits.
Additionally, the reminder is sent that, through a separate ordinance, no fireworks are allowed to be fired within the city limits of Atchison.
That word comes as the 4th of July holiday approaches, complete with the appearance of firework stands throughout the local area.
While many fireworks are allowed to be fired on public property within the County, some, such as bottle rockets, remain illegal statewide.
The City of Hiawatha, late last month, issued a statement reminding residents of such illegal discharges of air guns within the city, following property damage incurred there through their use.
