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 |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
