You will soon be able to discharge a firearm on land of 20 acres or more within Eagle city limits.
The Eagle City Council passed an amendment to city law to allow shooting in the city limits on 20-acre or larger parcels as long as does not endanger people or property.
Eagle Mayor Jason Pierce said he feels for farmers and other people who have had their 20-plus acre property annexed into the city who have not been able to hunt or shoot on it.
The Idaho Statesman reports, the ordinance also mentions the Bureau of Land Management land that was annexed into the city of Eagle.
In recent years the area has proved problematic for some area residents when it comes to shooting. The Bureau of Land Management allows shooting on its federal lands, but because the area was annexed into Eagle, shooting was illegal.
That will change with this amendment.
