Much Ado About Nothing

IIRC, it's against the law to shoot someone, too. Except in cases of self-defense. Undoubtedly self-defense situations would be exceptions also, even if not specifically written into the statute. In any event, I don't see why someone would be unwilling to defend his or her life out of fear of being charged with a misdemeanor offense of discharging a firearm within the city limits!
