[Guest tangojuliet]

I don't know the exact ordinance for oak ridge but it is so broad, it even covers paintball and bb guns.  any projectile pretty much.

Clarksville has some large tracts of land that I have been told are legal to hunt, rifle and all. But I have not seen anything in writing, I have, allegedly, used my pellet rifle in my back yard and it's not even an acre.

I believe Clarksville's codes are on Municode.com go under online library, Tennessee, then Clarksville. It won't open on my ipad so I didn't search for a code but you should be able to find it and it's free.

still can't find it :(

Talk to the local police office and find out for sure.

In my searches I have found that Clarksville only has a noise ordinance: ordinance 10-2012-13, while Montgomery County has codes related to discharging firearms in parks and other codes which have been proposed having to do with range operations.  While I don't think there would be any issue using your air rifle in your back yard, it would not hurt calling the Sheriffs dept and/or Clarksville PD to be totally legal.

last cop i talked said it was of to even shoot a rifle off in the city if i had more than one acre

I did a little searching through their codes, which are harder to read than the state laws, but it seems they have it covered under the anti noise regulations. It doesn't say you can't shoot but you can't produce impulse noise, code states a gun shot is, higher than a certain noise level.  I would think an pellet gun or bb gun wouldn't come close to that so I don't see how you would have a problem.

This made me think someone got shot with an air gun, or used an air gun to do something stupid then got shot by someone else. Glad to see that's not the case
