There are often complicated rules about game. For instance, it's illegal in many places to spear fish without first catching them on a line or in a net.

I don't know of any regulation about shooting sharks, but then I've never gone fishing for them.

BTW, it is illegal to discharge a firearm for any reason on the east end of Galveston, or within 500 feet of a residence or commercial structure on the west end. That's pretty much everywhere except the state park and the private ranges.

I knew Galveston had restrictions, but don't they make exception for gun ranges and rights granted by law (like self-defense)?

:shock: I just read Galveston's ordinances, and they have one prohibiting CHL carry in city owned premises. Seems to be in conflict with TPC 30.06.

Why would it not be legal to shoot a shark? If you can hook its mouth, drag it from its environment and suffocate it, why not shoot it?

Or are there sea-going laws involved regarding firearms?
