Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD do it. Oftentimes discretion is the better part of valor. First off, that’s just part of being a good neighbor and the concerns of these neighbor’s are valid. Second off, this will just force the legislature to pass a law prohibiting firing ranges on residential property and all those people who live on 100 acres of land and who can safely operate a personal range on their land won’t be able to do so. This dude isn’t doing any favors for those of us who support second amendment rights.
Very true.
I’m ALL FOR firearms. I own a bunch myself, and shoot in my backyard all the time, but there are no other homes near me.
Even if it was legal, I wouldn’t shoot in my backyard if I had houses right next to mine, or at least I wouldn’t do it much, or often. I’d check with them to see if it was a good time before I did. If it could bother them, I’d go to a proper range, wait until they wasn’t home, or check in with them to see if it would be a problem. There is nothing much worse than having a bad neighbor. I SURE as hell wouldn’t want to be one.
If you’re a bad neighbor, and those around you hate you with a passion; do you REALLY think they’ll call the police when someone is breaking into your house while you’re out of town or away for an extended period of time? They wouldn’t probably just look the other way with a chuckle.(I would)
