In another case, the police missed the berm at their firing range and hit houses in a neighboring STATE.

Since most rounds have a range of 5 miles or less, I would hazard a guess that this impact berm was practically sitting on top of the state line.

That’s true (it was about a half mile from the State line), but you have to admit that missing a berm with 30 to 40 rounds is pretty hard for anyone who is the least bit competent to do. Missing the entire State, however, is something worth remembering.

The range was closed down by the Mayor at that time. The police came around and asked to use OUR private range to train at. At first, we were willing, but they tried to put so many restrictions on us, the owners of the range (such as we would have to leave whenever they showed up to practice), that we eventually told them to pound sand. Of course, with their accuracy, maybe it was for our protection.
