Quotes:“…Because of all the development that has occurred around San Diego Bay as well the intersection of the various city limits all of San Diego Bay is now within the city limits of the jurisdiction of the various city limits, in Chula Vista or National City, San Diego or Coronado or Imperial Beach and typically the discharge of a firearms within a city limits is not permitted.
