    Default Rifle shooting on property?

    Hello, I am a native of Spring Grove, but have been in the Army for 8.5 years and counting. I am currently home on leave for a few weeks then off to Korea.

    My question is can I shoot a .22 rifle, or any gun, on my parents property? I do not live in city limits and have a large field and woods behind my property. There are only houses to my left and right.

    I could not locate my answer searching or on the interner anywhere specifically stating whether I can or not.

    Thanks, Dave.

    Check with your township. There are usually ordinances about it. You're probably okay though.

    Thank you for your military service!

    Just make sure of a good backstop.
    In N. Codorus, you should have no problem

    The OP could be in Jackson township. They're a little funny over there.

    +1. Never had an issue shooting on my property. And a .22 should not attract any attention.

    I live about a mile from the North Codorus township building, I had a .22 that I sighted the scope in on last year and never had a problem. I recently had a fail to fire issue with an 8mm Mauser at the range and after correcting the problem had shot that off on the property and had no issues either.

    We're getting a huge influx of people from Maryland in the area. It'll be interesting to see how long it stays gun friendly. I shoot quite a bit at home but try to do it in a manner that doesn't tic of the neighbors.
