 "If you're a resident and you have a neighbor shooting bow and arrow in the backyard or a BB gun, and it causes you concern, currently there's very little we can do about it, unless there's an injury or damage," White said. "The idea behind this proposed ordinance was to give us a tool to address those issues."
