A SUPREME COURT RULES: Shoot in Backyard?! Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Rules, Lessons Learned


Even if you have created a safe range on your own property the township can pass an ordinance to prohibit you from shooting on it.

Many of you already live under one of these ordinances, but you wouldn't expect that to happen out in a rural area.

If any of you belonged to SCCSF&A in early 2000 you'll know that even a range that's been around since circa 1920 is not safe from township supervisors and a liberal judge (and miserable horse owners)

I was expecting to move back to PA next year but it looks like they will keep giving me reasons not to. Losing the PA SC to the Dems is the beginnings of lawfare in PA.

Yes I remember this at SCCSFA and I'm still a member.  To be fair, I have lived in several states ranging from New England to the South, and this was an issue in each place.

This sucks because I was looking for property to buy just so I had a private place to shoot. Guess I'll just save the money and buy down south like my wife and I have talked about and we'll just move after my kid graduates High School.

As long as you don't buy in the wrong place I'm sure you'll be fine to shoot on your private property.

Just buy rural enough. This guy was in an area populated enough to have a Walmart or something down range.
