Yeah, but its really, really cold up there most of the time!

I used to live on a few acres, a mile down a dirt road here in Florida myself.
It really irritated me when unknown idiot(s) with a high caliber weapons decided to fire off a few rounds.
Generally after dark.
The terrain there was flat. We didn’t have forests, we had pastures and scrub bushes for miles, with homes and barns scattered about everywhere, on private land of two to twenty acres.
I think everyone owned guns, and none of us were the “cower in our homes” type.
A few of my neighbors were perfectly capable of determining where the shots originated, and ending the threats to our lives and property.I think the Sheriff really appreciated that we called and gave him a chance to peacefully “resolve” the situation.

This kind of law may not be needed where you live, but around here, it is.

Too many people, jammed too close together never ends up well, must be crowded in Florida. I think nowadays many people don't even know their neighbors down in the lower 48; leads to problems.

Now, we've been in Alaska 20 years, but grew up back in Pennsylvania. I had a 500 yard range there, only owned 86 acres and neighbors weren't on top of each other. Never had a complaint about gunfire or shooting; in fact, all the locals came down to use my range usually all day Saturday; but had great neighbors too. A funny side note, we also had 6 foot high plywood targets, Rose Law Firm Hillary, the Slickster, Mad woman Janet Reno, everybody really enjoyed those targets. I need to make a few new ones here in ALaska.

I actually luv Alaska, luv snowmaching, and all the outdoor sports we do and lifestyle; does wonders for your worldview rather than living in an urban area. It is awful nice not having any organized local government, taxes, and everything else that comes with the growth of govt. Good luck with life in Florida.
