UPDATE: 26 May 2010
Now the issue has been amplified!
A local Sheriff Dept. Lt. told him that he could have me cited for a noise violation!
Give me a break! If you have laws that say you can shoot in the county ... one of the outcomes is noise .... unless you want us all to have Class III permits and silencers.
This is getting ridiculous. WIth the Sheriff Dept. saying that ... I'm tempted to 'rally the troops' here in my county and get every shooter in the county down to the courthouse.
Don't they realize that if they cite me for a noise ordinance shooting violation that they leave the door wide open for the next idiot to get his foot in on the same issue?
I'm lost ... and I don't know what to do.
