In Brunswick? Really? I was shooting behind my brothers place a couple weeks ago in Brunswick down in the ravines. As we were rapping up, we noticed a couple of Brunswick's Finest watching us. We policed our brass, and shot shells, and hiked up to the house where they met us. I had my XD on my hip, my brother his Glock 23, and in our hands my P22, my Rem 870, and my brothers Mosin.
One officer had his hand on his gun, and the other with a beautiful AR set up on a single point sling. They gave us no trouble, just said that someone called in a noise complaint, so out they came. They noted we were clearly shooting safely, talked guns with us for a minute, confessed to being gun nuts them selves, and informed us that if we planned on shooting there again, we needed to have one of the officers from the firearms division (or something like that) come out and certify the area as a safe "range". We were told there was no fee involved and that way should someone call in again, they could simply inform the caller that we were good to go.
They shook hands with us, and away they went, with everyone happy.
Shame that the other officers mentioned weren't as level headed and understanding. So it's not all of BPD, just some. Bummer.
