Shooting on private property

^^^ Dude, you don't belong here.

Sure it does. Show just how sane the rest of us are and what we're fighting against. Know your enemy. Know them well.

Old Owl Guy, First of all I grew up in the Boston area, Watertown, Mass.

Well, this explains a lot about your rant and the source of your disdain for the rights of your neighbors.

When I was a child I didn't beleive in gun control, but as I became a man, I put away my childish ways.

So, as a supposed vet you feel the Constitutional rights of a citizen is a "Childish" thing? You do remember the oath you took when you joined the Navy?

All of the 'issues' you're railing against are a matter of Constitutional and personal rights.

I am not opposed to firearms, in fact I am a gunsmith!

So tell us. With this attitude of yours towards the Constitution and gun control, do you get much business. And before you come back (if you do) with some sort of snide remarks, if you are so sure your stance does not affect your gunsmith business, how about providing irrefutable proof of who you are and what your business name is. Wanna bet how fast you're joining the lines of the unemployed?

I served in the Navy in Vietnam. I am opposed to people annoying, and endangering other people, like here in Texas. Clowns that shoot in woods or their backyard. If Texans didn't act irresponsible with firearms there would be no reason for this posting!

First, if in fact you did serve, I thank you for your service. But much like every single claim made on these threads, you can say anything and noting you say is provable.

What you come here to whine about sounds to me like something that should be settled at the local level. Man up and take on the issue. Or whine about it like a libtard and expect the government to come to your rescue.

Hey nightmare, I guess it's okay for you. I'm mot looking to silence guns, we shoot on our property, too, but it seems unsafe to shoot assault rifles at night when a neighbor is50 feet away.

I live on 40 acres

How can you live on 40 acres and be shooting 50 feet from your neighbor? And if the houses are 50 feet apart, I would wager the home owner doesn't have that kind of acreage to start with.

Does anyone read the post I said try talking to the guy, other than that if he is in the county tough, how do you know they are "assault rifles" at night. Texas is a private property state and thank God.

To all you who doubt me - 1) I am NOT against shooting guns on private property. 2) I live on 40 acres which touch my neighbor's 20 acres. He has his berm 50 feet from my property line which points directly to my barn 1000 feet away and to a gated community a mile away. 3) I know what he's shooting because he has videos online. They are shooting AR15's at night as well as a .50 cal. The huge rain storm recently washed away 25% of their berm. Does this berm seem safe to all of you? There are gated communities all around us but we live in an area of unrestricted acreage. We bought this so that we could shoot guns - but I would not point a .50 cal at my neighbor and expect a pile of dirt to stop the bullet!

Shooting on private proptery

Hey check this out:

Thanks for this. This guy is complaining about the noise. I have noise, too, but unlike the open land they are pointing to at this range, my neighbor is pointing at me and my neighbors including a 90 home gated development. Montgomery is quickly becoming a suburb to Houston and The Woodlands and now the 10 largest county in Texas. There's lots of other parts of the state to shoot high caliber rifles.

There's been some comments about land size (acerage) and shooting. I haven't researched this thoroughly but this may be the source of some of this talk about 10 acres (etc.) as a minimum size on which to shoot. I think this Senate Bill was passed and originated mainly dealing with dove hunting inside city limits.

Senate Bill 1742
Senate Author: Shapiro et al.

Effective: 6-19-09
House Sponsor: Paxton




Senate Bill 1742 amends the Local Government Code to provide for the regulation of the discharge of a weapon by a municipality located wholly or partly in a county with a population of 450,000 or more, in which all or part of a municipality with a population of one million or more is located, and that is located adjacent to a county with a population of two million or more. The bill prohibits such a municipality from applying a regulation relating to the discharge of firearms or other weapons in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality or in an area annexed by the municipality after September 1, 1981, if the firearm or other weapon is a shotgun, air rifle or pistol, BB gun, or bow and arrow discharged on certain tracts of land of 10 acres or more; a center fire or rim fire rifle or pistol of any caliber discharged on certain tracts of land of 50 acres or more; or discharged at a sport shooting range. The discharge of an applicable weapon must be in a manner not reasonably expected to cause a projectile to cross the boundary of the applicable tract of land.
