I have only found two (2) laws regulating this activity - the "50 yard from a road" and "not onto or over" a neighbors property. I live on 6.5 acres and I'm aware of the bill waiting to be passed/signed regarding the size of the property. That would make it ok, regardless of local ordinances. I'm wondering about any kind of "disturbing the peace" ordinances? Anyone have any experiences with this issue?
I emailed the police to inquire about my intent to "target" shoot on my property. I was contacted by the Captain first. He was a nice guy. Then the Det. Srgt. from My local precinct #5 - Cobb County Police called me. He asked if he could stop by for a visit. I agreed. He checked out my (6.5 acre) property and thanked me for making the initial contact. Another very nice guy. He indicated, especially after meeting me, that there were NOT going to be any problems - regardless of what the neighbors think -
. We had a nice chat about Glock 23's and "our" preferred (.40 cal. 155gr. Hornady TAP/FPD) ammo too -
I'm happy I contacted them first. I also distributed a nice, pleasant, short and sweet "notification of intent" to all my neighbors. There are really no laws restricting my intended activity - due to my location. I simply wanted to take the "high road" on the issue so everyone is on the same page.
