... "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 |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
