It appears most of the lots in the subdivision are in the 1/4 acre size range.

I’m pretty crazy, but I don’t think even I would try to build a gun range in my back yard on a lot that small.

Accidents DO happen, and while this man may have a RIGHT to shoot in his backyard, he must also be ready to accept the RESPONSIBILITY for any tragedy which may occur as a result of his exercising of that right in a densely populated area.

Watch a video on local news. It was a few boards trying to contain a 3x3x3 mound of dirt. Very bad setup.

I once lived in a small subdivision outside Vicksburg, MS. The loess soil in that area has to cut vertically instead of being sloped as other soils.

One morning the neighbor fired a revolver into the bank behind his house. Our lots were much less than a quarter acre. After the sheriff confirmed it was legal, I did the same using the high bank that extended behind both of the houses for a backstop.

That area had lots of signs warning people not to fire guns from the highway. It wasn’t unusual to drive by a place and see people standing not far off the road using the cuts as backstops for target practice.
