... "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."
"The gun range, according to newspaper accounts, begins in the front yard and ends in a small pile of pallets propped up by dirt in the backyard near the a fence. Reports are that this is eight feet from his neighbor’s yard and 20 feet from the window of the children’s bedroom. ..." ...

| 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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
