I didn't read the article---let me guess "for your safety"?
Also, I don't care what they rule or what illegal laws they make, I'm not complying because they're not complying.

A clearly Political, non judgmental ruling?
What the hell is that????

Without seeing the property itself, I can't say for certain whether it would be reasonable for him to shoot on his own property, but I think it's 100% unreasonable to just have a blanket ban on doing so.

Yes, I understand, fair point. Although, we don't know the zoning for his or neighboring properties. For example, retail or apartments nearby.

What is being lost on everyone is that joe-bob may need some 'guardrails' on where he can shoot his Barrett, model 82A1.

Guy needs to get some suppressors and keep shooting.

Prince makes a nice first amendment comparison, that that court clearly didn't.

Is it just me or do zoning ordinances (especially the scheme Philadelphia has) seem in practice to be often applied in an arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable manner?

How could a zoning ordinance constitutionally make it illegal to have a gun store at the same location as a legal commercial shooting range? This defies common sense.
