I did some checking on a website, I believe this is the actual law the Cleveland Metro-Parks to show how a law can interpreted in various ways.... 549.02 THROWING OR SHOOTING MISSILES. (a) No person shall throw, shoot or propel an arrow, missile, pellet, stone, metal or other similar substance capable of causing physical harm to persons or property, in or on any public place, in or on the property of another, or from any private property into or onto any public place or the property of another. This section does not apply to authorized ranges or instruction nor when otherwise lawfully authorized. (b) Whoever violates this section shall be fined not more than one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for the first offense and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each subsequent offense. (ORC 1545.99) In my opinion, you could be ticketed for skipping stones under this ordinance.

Nearly two hundred and thirty-nine years later and here we are.

Bernomatic's posting above just reminded me of another thing that would be helpful to include in any presentations to politicians and officials. As G. Harry Stine pointed out in his "Handbook of Model Rocketry," the fact that our model rocketry activities can be insured *at all*--and at a rock-bottom rate, to boot--is nothing to hide, but something to point to with pride; if model rocketry was dangerous, it couldn't be insured at *any* price (or at best, at a rate that only the wealthy could afford to pay). Also:
The park flying experience of Frank Zaic (the famous model airplane designer and writer, see: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...le+Search&gbv=2 ) is instructive, too. When he was a boy, he and a few friends wanted to fly their model airplanes in Central Park in New York City, but it was prohibited at that time. Undaunted, he managed to meet with Mayor LaGuardia (or Mayor Walker--I forget which) and presented his case, and the mayor issued him an unlimited-duration permit. When he and his friends went to Central Park and began prepping their models, a police officer came over and told them that flying model airplanes wasn't allowed. Young Frank politely showed the officer his permit, and he was stunned to see the mayor's personal signature on the official NYC Mayor's Office stationery! He was so impressed that he even cleared an area for the boys so that they could more easily prep and fly their models!

Does that include baseballs, footballs, or badminton birdies? They are all "other similar substances" and could cause physical harm...

Well, first off, one option I have considered pursuing is a legal one. It entails receiving a ticket for the offense in the first place. There is a tenet in law which basically states that if a law is too broad in it's application, it is unenforceable and therefore void. It would be interesting to pursue, but I think that should be an option of last resort. Secondly, again if I recall correctly, there was a demonstration that the early pioneers of our hobby use to perform. They would launch a rocket against a plate glass section of window with the result of a destroyed rocket and no damage to the window. I don't know if the results would be the same with today's plastic nose cones.
