Town v.s. the town

Hi,

Which sentence is preferrable in your opinion ?

1. You cannot fire a gun in the town. You have to drive out of the town into the suburbs to do so

2. You cannot fire a gun in town. You have to drive out of town into the suburbs to do so

(I want to say that you cannot discharge a firearm within city limits)

I guess #2 is right.

Thanks !
