Lenexa updates city code to make ‘intentional or reckless’ firing of weapons unlawful in the city

The Lenexa City Council on Tuesday voted 7-0 to approve an amendment to the city code that defines unlawful discharge of a firearm. … The amendment makes clear that intentional or reckless discharging of a firearm within the city limits is unlawful. In a presentation to the city council, Deputy City Attorney MacKenzie Harvison said the current section of city code is “silent” on the issue of intent, particularly when an unintentional discharge or firing of a firearm has occurred. This has created uncertainty on whether Lenexa can charge someone in municipal court for such an incident.
