In my area the county declared 5 acres legal to shoot. I think the law is to stop gov from banning shooting if you have at least 10/50 acres, not a min to have to shoot. No law against it locally, you can shoot on less. ?Keith B wrote:Welcome to the forum.Mdcanon wrote:We live outside any jurisdiction,city,town or incorporated area...We own over 10 acres..
Recently, a individual purchased 11 acres behind us.. Right away, he and some friends started shooting off high powered rifles..
I drove over there to introduce myself.
I first noticed they were Shooting with A-R 15 Rifle at a Bumper and at Bottles suspended 4 feet off the ground tied on a make shift horse..I jokingly told the Owner I did not want to get shot,so they moved the targets in the other direction..
The noise was deafening..
My question is under Statue Sec.229.002 the Regulation states on 10 acres you can shot with a shotgun,pistol ,bow, bob gun etc.
It states that you have to own over 50 acres to fire a Rifle or high caliber firearm.
Can they fire off a AR -15 on 10 acres or more or do they have to adhere to the sec.229.002 regulation?
Can the County rule that they can fire a AR-15 on 10 acres or more.
Personally, they can shoot all they want using a lower caliber pistol but using these Rifles are very dangerous especially
When shooting at a target off the ground ,plus we live close by.
I possess a LTC over 10 years ..
You must have 10 acres for shotgun, air rifle/pistol, BB gun or bow and arrow.
You must have 50 acres for a rim-fire or center-fire pistol or rifle. They are breaking the law and need to be told to cease and desist their shooting on that small a tract.
