Did some digging and apparently it is actually
illegal to own any sort of gun in palo alto.I probably wouldn't have carried before, but alliance has really sort of gotten me interested in shooting. Hence, that bb gun that I bought. Man, that thing was a joy to use. Probably put like 10,000 bbs through it. Sigh
That link is broken.
There's no city in the US that outright bans any form of firearm. Even the strictest cities like Chicago and New York - you can own long arms and pistols, but you can't carry concealed or openly. In these cities shooting ranges are impossible to find and beyond expensive.
I did some googling and nothing says that you can't own longarms and pistols. There may be restrictions on rifle configuration or carry, but there's no way you can't get yourself a Mosin Nagant, a Ruger 10/22, or a 1911.
*EDIT*
Got to the page.
It does say firearms and anything that makes projectiles move is prohibited.
However, there's a section directly underneath the first one called "Exceptions"
Quote:
(a) The provisions of Section 9.08.010 as to the use of any of the firearms mentioned therein shall not apply to any of the following cases:
(1) To police, peace officers or persons in military service in the discharge of their duties and using reasonable care;
(2) To persons using firearms in necessary self-defense;
(3) To the possession of such firearms for keeping at the place of residence or business of the person otherwise in lawful possession thereof, or while traveling to or from a legal firing, shooting or target range or hunting ground;
(4) To the discharging or firing of such firearms or causing them to be discharged or fired at a legal firing, shooting or target range or hunting ground;
(5) To the discharging or firing of fireworks after permit therefor has been issued by the fire chief;
(6) To the use of a gun firing .22 caliber shot-cartridge only, upon a written permit applied for and granted by the chief of police to protect life or property against animals, birds or rodents;
(7) To the discharging or firing of a pistol incapable of projecting any bullet or missile (a) for the sole purpose of starting an organized athletic event, by an official who has charge of the competitors at the start of the athletic event; or (b) for use as a theater prop in a bona fide theatrical production.
Seems perfectly legal own and operate firearms to me.
