69. So write different laws for the urban environment

Seems perfectly simple to me.
Carry a hunting rifle or automatic weapon without a valid license/registration/permit/uniform inside the city limits with ammo and go to jail.
This bs about protecting one's family is pure fantasy. If the gun and its ammo are properly stored away from the kids, there is just about zero chance of using it to protect anything.
