I am trying to find information regarding discharge of a firearm on private property in New York State (not NYC, as I know they have special rules).
Specifically, I would like to train both my dog and horse to gunfire. I have private property where I could get permission from the owners (where I keep my horse - I need to do this within the confines of an arena to keep the horse from potentially running away). I would also be using only blank ammo. Plan to shoot with a pistol, for which I have a permit.
I cannot find any legal references to cover this situation. I have found some local towns that have their own ordinance against discharge of firearms - I am not in those towns.
There is a reference in the NYS Environmental Conservation Law (§ 11-0923) stating that only blank ammo can be used when training a dog. No other mention that I can find regarding when or where one might be allowed to actually do this.
Anyone know the answer to this, or can provide a legal reference on the topic?
Thanks in advance.
