I'd like to be able to walk out my back door and squeeze off a few rounds without creating a reportable offense. I live in Apex, NC on a .5 acre lot. I'm pretty sure if my mower backfires I'll be talking to the local constabulatory. Let alone the discharge of an actual firearm. So I'd like to know.... how much land would be a minimum for being able to shoot as you wish?
For example- how much land does it take for no one to hear you? 200 acres? 1,000 acres? On the other end- if you were to create a little firing lane with berms on 3 or 4 sides how little land would it take to muffle a few shots? Maybe 10 acres?
I know this question has at least two possible answers- legal and practicle. The legal is pretty straight forward- just look it up to see if it's legal in a particular area. I'm really looking for the answer to "How many acres does it take until noone notices or cares".
Thoughts?
Thanks.
