Before any shooting gallery shall begin to operate in any county, city or town of this state, it shall be inspected by the sheriff of said county, or his authorized deputy, for safety, and the owner must have a statement in writing by said sheriff or his authorized deputy that he has inspected the premises and is of the opinion that it is safe to operate. Such statement shall not be furnished by the sheriff or his authorized deputy unless the shooting gallery meets the requirements of this act. In the event a shooting gallery is moved from one place to another, a new inspection statement must be secured by the owner or operator prior to beginning operation. It is hereby made the duty of the sheriff of each county personally or through his authorized deputy to make the inspection required herein upon request of the owner or operator. Shooting galleries constructed prior to the effective date of this act shall be furnished an inspection statement as required herein even though such shooting gallery does not meet the requirements of this act if, in the opinion of the sheriff or his authorized deputy, it is safe to operate.
