How many of you unfortunate souls live within Richmond?
So we learn that Councilman Charles Samuels is upset that residents may lawfully discharge their weapons on their own private property. He intends to stop that:
Charlie (Don’t) Get Your Gun
Like I posted here yesterday, with cops either confused or chomping at the bit to arrest, the proposed solution is yet another law.
The real solution is more liberty.
As a compromise, perhaps the property owner could be required to have insurance -- although not necessarily proof of insurance.

Shooting a house = trouble.
Shooting a person = big trouble.
But shooting a gun on your own property, just for the heck of it? That’s OK. At least, for now.
Richmond’s laws don’t prohibit discharging a firearm on private property, Councilman Charles Samuels told residents of his north-central 2nd District last week. Samuels says he made the discovery after conferring with a city police officer who wanted to, but couldn’t, charge someone for doing just that. Samuels’ office also has received complaints about gunfire on private property from Ginter Park residents.
...
The city’s law department is preparing a draft of the ordinance. Once Samuels reviews and approves it, he plans to introduce it in late January.
