Albuquerque, New Mexico has very few laws on their books concerning air guns, bb gun, pellet guns and the like. These laws include the following:
12-2-11 PROPULSION OF MISSILES.
Propulsion of missiles consists of shooting, slinging or throwing snowballs, stones, rocks, pellets, BB shot or any kind of missile, object or substance whatsoever in any manner as to be reasonably likely to cause injury to any person or property. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit target firing when conducted so as to secure safety of the inhabitants of the city.
Target firing may be permitted when conducted on ranges meeting the specifications of the National Rifle Association or its equivalent upon submitting proof that such range meets such specifications and upon obtaining a permit from the Mayor or his designated representative based on such proof. (’74 Code, § 12-1-2-11) (Ord. 96-1973; Am. Ord. 78-1978)
