South Port Maine proposes BB Gun & slingshot ban

...Cause sombody could lose an eye! Also includes bows and...........arrows?  And of course, you "would not be required to hand over the weapon".

SOUTH PORTLAND – The South Portland City Council is on the verge of prohibiting the possession of non-lethal weapons on public property - despite pleas from residents calling the proposal a violation of civil rights.
At its meeting Monday, the council voted 6-1 to amend a city ordinance to make possession in public places of weapons such as bows and arrows, BB guns, air guns, and slingshots a civil offense. Violators of the law would be subjected to a fine, though they would not be required to hand over the weapon. The council is expected to make a final determination on the amendment at its Oct. 4 meeting.
