Never heard of this before. Not calling you out, just curious where did you find out about this?

For years there was a professionally painted 3'x3' sign on the fenceline along Highway 98 citing the ordinance number and 'in quotes', the text of the ordinance about 'rifled rounds'. We took it to be an authentic representation.

Some time later, when a sheriff's deputy visited the neighborhood looking for information and answering a complaint about someone shooting near their house, we had the occasion to ask the deputy about it. He confirmed the rifled round information, and further said that people could not shoot any 'explosive driven' gun within 300 feet of any residence. Searching for the ordinance online just now only revealed the 300 foot restriction. Perhaps it was repealed.
