Yes, it is illegal in any state to discharge a fire extinguisher unless used to put out or control a fire or used in demonstration.

The law comes in to effect when the fire extinguisher is not at capacity and can hinder the safety of it's purpose.

To discharge a fire extinguisher for any other reason is criminal, states very on it's punishment.

Can a landlord restrict his tenant from keeping a firearm in his rented premisies?

Depends on the law where you are, but in general, no. A tenant is permitted the "quiet enjoyment" of the property- meaning that they have the right to do lawful things on the property that do not damage it. If possession of a firearm is legal, the owner of the property would have no legal right to restrict the tenant from doing a legal thing.


Can you own a firearm with an other than honorable discharge?

You cannot own a firearm with a dishonorable discharge, which is the most severe discharge there is. However, a "less than honorable" is not the same as a "dishonorable" discharge. If the discharge resulted from a court martial, and the service member was convicted of a crime that would be a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison) then you should consult an attorney for legal advice.

Can you shoot a gun in your backyard in Escondido Ca?

Until someone comes along who knows for sure I'll give you my guess. I doubt there's a town in the US where it's legal to discharge a firearm in the city limits. I was raised in a tiny town in Texas 60 years ago and it was illegal even there and then to discharge a firearm in town.
