COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) Two men are facing charges after they were accused of target shooting in the basement of a Colorado Springs home.
Police say they responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired inside the house on Saturday. Officers say as they approached the house they heard more shots and noticed the front door was open.

Colorado Springs bump
“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.
I was mainly referring to the noise levels
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.
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.
Officers say as they approached the house they heard more shots and noticed the front door was open.
Officers say when they got inside they found two men taking turns shooting at glass bottles.

Yeah. Sure.
I wouldnt do it myself. Don’t need to fix any more things.
“Front door just happened to be open”
Proof they were hiding anything.
Nazi will do what nazi’s do.
“... 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.
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.
