It is unlawful for any person to hunt with a firearm, bow and arrow, crossbow, or other deadly weapon while on the land of another unless he has, on his person, a paper writing dated and signed by the owner or lessee of the land granting the person permission to hunt with a firearm, bow and arrow, crossbow or other deadly weapon while on the land. If the land is owned by or leased to a club, the permission must be signed by the club president or other chief executive, by whatever name known. If the land is owned by or leased to a corporation, the permission must be signed by the president or the vice- president of the corporation, or the authorized designee of the president or vice-president. Permission shall not be valid for a period in excess of one year, but may be valid for any shorter period stated in the permission. The written permission must be displayed upon request to any law enforcement officer authorized to enforce this section. Section 2. It is unlawful to hunt, take or kill with a firearm, bow and arrow, crossbow or other deadly weapon or to attempt to hunt, take or kill with any such weapon any wild animal or wild bird on, from, or across the right-of-way of any public road, street, highway or thoroughfare. Section 3. It is unlawful to discharge a firearm from, onto, across or down the right-of-way of any public road, street, highway, or thoroughfare. Section 4. It is unlawful for any person to possess a loaded firearm on the land of another while under the influence of an impairing substance. For purposes of this subsection, a person is under the influence of an impairing substance when he has consumed a sufficient quantity of any impairing substance to cause him to lose the normal control of his bodily or mental facilities, or both, to such an extent that there is an appreciable impairment of either or both of these facilities.
