    I don’t go back, and I have no more outdoor ranges to go to that aren’t too far away.

    I used to go to a childhood friends house but after I moved we kinda drifted apart so it’s weird to ask to use their backyard range.

    I would love to have the property to put in at least a 100m lane and a large back stop to stop ricochets and the like. Then I don’t have to go somewhere people will whinge when I shoot more than twice a minute, and I’m not at risk of an ND coming my way.

      ND

      North Dakota?

      In my area (Utah), BLM land is everywhere, and there’s plenty of unused state land an hour or so away. So we can just drive a bit and a flattish area with a natural backstop, and set up some comes or something so people can see the range.

      Is that not an option in your area?

        Apologies.

        As deegeese said, Negligent Discharge.

        My bad, I tend to think people have more knowledge of obscure things than is normal, I guess.

        And I’m in Ohio, so while I technically could find some bit of land to shoot on, there’s forests, fields, and cities. Anything in between is private property.

        I’m exaggerating a bit, but that’s more or less how it feels.

          Thanks. :) I’m not too familiar with the legal terms here. Everyone is pretty gun-positive (we have Constitutional carry here), so the chance that anyone would call the cops is pretty low if you’re outside city limits, and the chance the cops would do anything is pretty low.

      Just be like my neighbor, his backdrop is a state park with hiking trails. He got his guns taken years ago when he flipped out and had a domestic incident but he got em back. Murica! Fuck yeah !
