SHOOTING

Shooting of firearms is regulated within the city of Breezy Point. Because of the varying densities of homes a map has been developed to identify where shooting is allowed. Depending on density certain areas are prohibited from firing any weapon while other areas allow for the discharge of shotguns with birdshot. Still some areas allow for the discharge of any firearm. State law still applies to the discharge of any firearm within the city. The city does not regulate hunting and the taking of game by bow and arrow is governed by state law. Refer to the map to determine if shooting of any type is allowed in your area. Landowner permission should always be obtained for any activity including shooting.
