Target shooting on your property
Serious question. What are the laws governing target shooting on your property if you live in the county.
Thank you for your response and your service.

1) Don't do it if you are a convicted felon.. (And make sure weapons are legal. No sawed down long guns, fully auto with no Fed stamp, etc.)
2) Don't do it within city limits. (City laws would apply.)
3) Make sure your rounds stay on your property (not others and not past any roadway.)
4) Don't be surprized if you neighbors call in a complaint and we come out to make sure no crimes have been committed.

Didn't the governor recently change these laws?
Or was that just on so called gun ranges on properties?

If I'm reading that correctly, if you own property tha is a acre or more it would be legal to target shoot.
Am I correct?

If a person owns a half acre and the neighbor owns the other half acre that would be a NO, correct?
