Backyard Gun Ranges are O.K. in Florida :: 03/07/2014
We read this article 3 times, and did some other research. The language in Florida's restrictive gun law that was recently removed allows homeowners to shoot in their backyards. Boy, would we like to be able to do this, but don't hold your breath. Pennsylvania municipal authorities can control "discharge of a firearm" and we don't see that changing anytime soon. Between school zones, safety zones, and screaming neighbors, we don't think the Florida model is coming here soon.
