Today I invited several people over to my property to play around shooting my new toy. The gun is a belt-fed M3HB 50 cal, semi-auto. Place in a rural area on 20 acres with a dirt berm backstop. Time was about 11:00 AM when we started, shot off and on till about 15:00, rounds fired 90. At approximately 16:30 two sheriff's deputies arrived to inform me that someone called in that I was shooting. They also informed me that I could be cited for disturbing the peace. Going to google Texas state laws and also Jasper county laws in reference to defined areas to disturb the peace and penalties. This seemed a little odd to me that I could be disturbing the peace, who's peace is still uncertain, the deputies would not divulge that information. Anyone with any experience with similar situations? How did you remedy the problem? Hate to think that I will have to go to a gun range when I feel like shooting my belt-fed, shooting my guns when I want is the reason that I purchased the land I live on.
