“Proper backstop” adjusts for the caliber.

I’m the same way. I live in the county. The law here is 500ft away from the dwelling... that is, the complaining dwelling.
My neighbors won’t call the law unless we repeatedly fire automatics. I guess it is disturbing his sunday afternoon nap.

Leaving the door open ... that way it scares away any pain in the a$$ innocent bystanders away.

Yeah, cause everyone practicing shooting guns in the basement leaves the front door open. BS.

Well, I don't know exactly when this happened...but hasn't it been kinda cold in Denver recently???

Hey Virgil!

Yeah Vern? Let's go down stairs and do some target practicin'.

Okay, but let me open a door, to let the smoke outta the house...Brrrr, its cold out. Thank goodness we'll be down stairs.

Front door just happened to be open, huh? Sounds fishy to me.

With all the gunfire, doubt they'd have to worry about anyone taking stuff, even in Detroit.

Golly! My dad had bullet trap in our basement back in the mid-1950s and we shot .22 shorts all the time down there in an old single-shot Winchester Model .22-02 that he won as a prize out of a Cracker Jacks box way back when he was a kid. It’s where & how I learned to shoot when I was 6 years old. I’m glad we live far out in the boonies these days.

Next? When I went into the Army sodomy was illegal, then Clintoon's first action was to make it optional. Later Resident Barry made it expected. Next, his husband Michael will tell him to make it required.

Officers say when they got inside they found two men taking turns shooting at glass bottles.

“Front door just happened to be open”

Proof they were hiding anything.

“... country and hear gunshots all the time”

Same here. You don’t live out here if you don’t own a gun.

Only reason nobody does this in Florida is the water table prevents one from building basements.

“Where does this stop?”

It probably stops in your next door neighbor’s walls...or in your next door neighbor.

I live in the county here but in the developed part with 10 foot lot borders. I used to have a problem with squirrels getting into my attic. Began popping them off the tree with my 38, with shot shells, when my neighbor asked me if I had heard some gun fire. I said, yeah I been blasting the suckers off the trees leading to my roof. He said, can you do the same for me!

In my misspent youth we did this but turned the stereo up full blast and shot in time to the music.

>> about how more people are carrying the nowadays

On a side note on this, over 8% of the adult population of my state (GA) has a concealed carry license. I was surprised and somewhat elated when I found this out.

Many police stations have small ranges in the basement.

Big deal.
