... "A neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Lakewood Estates, has a problem. One resident has set up a firing range in his yard and, according city and law enforcement officials, it’s legal under Florida law."

| Recent reports have the owner dismantling his range. But I'm wondering "why ?". IMNSHO its perfectly possible, (and feasible depending upon local zoning ordinances) to construct a completely safe pistol range in a limited space such as a back yard. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
