The Law Explained

As the American West rapidly developed, towns wanted to establish a sense of civilization and stop reckless frontier behaviors. Apparently, overzealous tourists or lazy hunters would try to bag a bison from the comfort of their lodging windows. To prevent stray bullets from hitting pedestrians, shooting wild game from hotel balconies was strictly outlawed.
