• Uses obscene or profane language on any highway or at any public place or gathering or in hearing distance of any schoolhouse or church
• While under the influence or feigning to be under the influence of intoxicating liquor, unreasonably discharges a gun, pistol, or other firearm while upon or within fifty yards of any public road or highway, except on his own premises
