Legality of shooting on my own property
not sure if this is the right subforum.. but heres my question.
Is there a law against discharging (shooting) a firearm on my own property? We have a decent sized yard (1.2 acres or so), however there are definitely neighbors in ear shot and they could easily see my holding my Sig 522 and think its a evil black gun. So is there anything in the law that does not allow me to fire the weapon in my back yard?

There could be a local ordinance the prohibits the firing of a weapon for other than self defense, it is all dependent on the township. You would need to check with local LEOs to find an answer to your question.

I really dont think the admins at the township are going to know, theyll probably just refer me to the township LEO's.
