Most cities and towns have restrictions about shooting inside city limits (except in the obvious case of self defense). But most counties don't have that restriction. I can tell when a gun show is in progress, my neighbors across a valley shoot their new toys. I hear shooting all the time in the immediate area around me, but to my knowledge only one homicide was committed in the past 10 years or so. I use a local range myself, being more thoughtful toward my neighbors AND not wanting to advertise that I'm a shooter.

Good to know. I'd want to be a few miles out of town, depending on the size of the town.
