There is a skeet and trap range in Nashville that faces a major roadway about 200 yards away. Shotgun pellets don’t even reach the roadway.
Growing up, one of the older kids in the neighborhood had a launcher, and we would go to his driveway and shoot. This was in a neighborhood, and we were shooting directly towards a house less than a 100 yards away. These days such activity would be national news. I was too young to know what we were shooting...but considering I was able to do it when so small, it must have been bird shot and maybe even a special skeet gun. But still the notion of shooting directly at that house...contrasted with contemporary gun hysteria, amazes me.
