... "A neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Lakewood Estates, has a problem. One resident has set up a firing range in his yard and, according city and law enforcement officials, it’s legal under Florida law."

| Recent reports have the owner dismantling his range. But I'm wondering "why ?". IMNSHO its perfectly possible, (and feasible depending upon local zoning ordinances) to construct a completely safe pistol range in a limited space such as a back yard. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
