Does anybody know of state of national laws which might prohibit shooting on your own property, outside of "city limits"? Most of my life I have shot on private property somewhere in the country. I really haven't given it a second thought until recently.
My parents have 20 acres of land where I've been shooting for a couple years now. We use a 20 foot tall dirt bank as a backstop and this seems pretty safe to me. Recently some of the farm land around them has been sold and more houses are starting to appear across the landscape. It hasn't happened yet, but I can see the day when someone who is gun "unfriendly" builds a house nearby and then gets bent out of shape about us shooting. If there is no law against shooting on your own property as long as you aren't in a metropolitan area, then there's no worries. However, I don't know for sure that this is perfectly legal. Does anyone here have an idea about this?
Thanks.
