Shooting on your own property

[Jabtime]

Is it legal to shoot on your own property in Bucks County? I live on a 22 acre lot... I specifically live in New Hope.

It would be best if you check the local ordinances of your area.

If you're in Buckingham township, dunno if you are or not, but based it upon you saying you're in New Hope.

Check with your local police. Your probably in Solebury Twp. so Solebury PD. I do not think New Hope Borough has anyone with 22 acres but I could be wrong. Let us know what you find out.

Here is the Code of Ordinances for New Hope, PA. Link was found on their own website:

I found it here:

Oh look here is a preemption violation:

To possess, carry or use firearms or prohibited offensive weapons (as defined in 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 908, as amended) at any park, recreation or open space area within the Borough of New Hope.

Oh here is another one:

To carry or use firearms, bows and arrows, traps and lures or any other missiles or means of catching, trapping, or killing animals and/or to bring into or upon any park, recreation or open space lands, or have in his or her possession, any type of hatchet, axe, saw or knife, except for duly appointed law enforcement officers while carrying out the duties and responsibilities of their position.

I didn't find anything for discharging a firearm, but you can look yourself to be extra sure.

Whatever township you live in would be where you start. Most have their ordinances online. Probably fall under noise, nuisance or discharge of firearms.

Newtown proper or one of the townships? I have a Son that lives near the Grange outside Newtown. I think that is Newtown Township but Wrightstown, Lower Makefield, Northampton and Middletown Townships are all right there. Which one is the property in?
