The other day, however, Combee swam against his own legislative current, filing a bill that reins in some practices of gun owners. His measure would outlaw backyard gun ranges, an idea that has the endorsement of the Florida Police Chiefs Association and, according to Combee, the National Rifle Association.
Ed.: The bill would ban shooting ranges on residential lots smaller than one acre. |

Simplest way to control small parcel shooting ranges:
Make them backstop the range with their own house.
That's what I always did with air rifle ranges on lots less than 200 yards deep. If a pellet hits the foundation, I'm doing it wrong. |

"backstop the range with their own house."
That's a good idea....some basements are large enough for pistol...best ones are enclosed, if you can afford...one guy took a tightly stacked line of large tractor tires the entire length of his yard~fully enclosed, sound proofed like a silencer....no need to go underground or disturb the soil (such as burying 45 ft. container or lining an alley/trench with concrete, wood and then covering with timber)-if anyone asks about 'that thumping noise' it's "life like video game playing with the volume turned all the way up, sporting marshall and boze amps and speakers". |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
