Lots of municipalities like that...

stray bullets kill just as much as aimed ones.as the area grows,so does safe places to shoot that have no ranges.

Where I live its against the law to shoot any "projectile" device. Not even airsoft guns.

I developed a problem with coyotes on my property, so I set up a target in a safe direction and did some practicing with a .22 and 30-30 to be ready for the coyotes return. Neighbor from the property two houses over - NOT in the direction of fire (which I checked by both scouting in person and google maps satellite view which I know is very updated for my area) - came over and notified me it was illegal to shoot on my property and I was disturbing her dogs (like the coyotes weren't, but oh well).

I told her I believed that she was mistaken, but that I would look it up. Well, within 500 yards of the lake near my house is a no shooting area. Be damned if my backyard was 432 yards from the edge of a a long arm of the lake :-<. I'll tell you, if I was 501 yards I would have been shooting again within minutes. Oh well.

Unfortunately the 2A only has "keep" and "bear", not discharge.

That's Snohimish Co west of Hwy 9 for you. You can come over here and shoot coydogs if you want Navy. There is no-one here to bother.

Like others have said, lots of states are like that. Most municipalities in PA have laws against the discharge of firearms. They cannot stop you from hunting on property you own or have persmission to hunt, but it is against the law to discharge a firearm unless it is for self-defense.

Follow link, read story, then comment

Drew Smith, "Horry County to discuss possible firearm discharge ordinance", News13, 9 Mar 2012.
Caption: "It is currently legal to discharge firearms in unincorporated areas of Horry County."

Folks, this is not about discharging firearms in the city. It's about people complaining about gunfire in the country.

I think one of the commenters nailed it: "We have the same problem in Greenville county. Yankees move down here and build a house on some land out of town. ... Then they start to complain because their neighbors are shooting their guns on their own land."

Locally we have had retirees move next door to a firing range, then complain about gunfire. People should not move next to a rifle range (or airport, etc.) then file complaints about the noise. There are other real estate options.

We currently have some horse property for sale in a very desirable location. City folk come out and look and complain......you guessed it......about the horses.:banghead:

Or race tracks...

The only way to cope with this sort of thing is to try to activate one's neighbors to join in and attend any public hearings or county commission meetings and have more "leave it alone" voices than "change it" voices. Elected officials respond to "noise levels" at meetings--as in the squeakiest wheel gets the most grease. They are experts at counting noses.

You don't show up, you lose.

Don't stop with just phone calls and letters.
