A man dialed 911, asking the dispatcher if he could shoot a skunk that was eating out of his garden.
The man was promptly told no, which begs the question: If a skunk was shot in a person’s backyard because it was eating out of a garden and nobody was around to hear it, did it make a sound?
In this case, yes. The sound of a gunshot at the critter would possibly be heard by a neighbor, who might then call Hutchinson police.
A visit by police for shots fired in city limits warrants a citation for unlawful discharge of a firearm, in violation of a city ordinance.

if in a private area, use a .22 short out of a rifle. The noise is negligible and not likely to call attention to what you are doing.
Shoot, shovel and shut up.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
