And when Johnny Law shows up to inspect/investigate remember "You're welcome to join me anytime, deputy."

I believe if you detonated a batch of tannerite of about 10lbs or so you will find the answer to your question real quick. I too am not a lawyer, attorney or legal strategist in any form. My views are merely for amusement at this point.

It’d be interesting to me to see the actual ordinance, and the published definition of what constitutes “city limits”.

i’ve heard the same that no firearms are permitted to be discharged within city limits, but have yet to see a copy.

I have a neighbor (if 2 miles away can be a neighbor) who was supposedly grandfathered in, so is pemitted to shoot on his property. They have plenty of land, plenty of complaining neighbors, and live south of the loop.

Maybe its printed on unobtanium?

It's printed on the internet, as is the entirety of Indianapolis municode, and took me about 30 seconds to find via Google...

That said, "city limits" isn't the code and never has been. "Police special service district" is, which is why post-merger it's unclear if that incorporates the former Sheriff's Dept patrol areas or not and there is no clarifying case law.

According to section (b) I would just tell them that the land belongs to the government and I am just paying taxes on it...
