Cook County you say?hmmmmmm Troll much?
Quoted:
fucking morons! working from home this afternoon and to relax, I shot couple BBs from a little daisy rifle I have sitting in the office room. shot from 2nd floor windows, to the old ammo can sitting on the ground across backyard in the corner of solid wood fence 6 feet tall. 5 minutes later - 2 squad cars, 3 cops at my door - "did you shoot BB gun from the window?" - "yes, is there a problem?" - "yes, neighbor called on you - that you were sticking rifle from your window and he has 2 holes in his siding" - "well, come to my office, take a look at what I was shooting at" I showed them the BBgun, the ammo can that I shot at, they looked over my office - the gun cases in the corner, the safe, the hunting/shooting swag, checked my FOID card, and then told me that I can not shoot BBs on my property outside, can only do it inside the house! they left and told me "not to do it again" and never told me which nejghbor called and where were the holes... I am super pissed... and need to so some research - I am in suburb of Chicago, in Cook Fucking County, but I never heard that I could not shoot BB guns on my property - all measly 1/4 acre, but I have 6 foot tall solid wood fence on all sides...

agree, in retrospect it was pretty stupid for me to assume that I could do something like that on private property
I just did a search and found an ordinance that was talking about village property - that noone can discharge air gun on village property except in areas designated, but it said nothing about private property. anyway, I guess I will also need to stop parading naked with my AR in front of that window. |

Move to free state.   . Same ordinance in my little town of 6500. No "missiles" may be fired in the city limits, to include air rifles, bb guns, and archery.

No this is not an IL thing. I live in a small town in rural CO population 500 or so. We have the above ordinance for the abvove reason. I talked to the chief and his response was meh go ahead and set up an archery range in your back yard. If the neighbors complain I'll tell ya to take it down. If they don't complain have fun. |

It is considered a wobbler (can be charged as a felony or misdemeanor). Even prosecuted as a misdemeanor it can come with a 10 year state prohibition on firearms ownership. Funny thing is I live in a semi rural area and I hear gunshots fairly often. Doubt anybody would ever call teh polices over something like that but I ain't risking it. |

would it be too difficult to go back to window and surveil the surroundings for possible snitch line of sight? you should be able to narrow down to a few or you could cause a disturbance in your backyard while an observer is secreted and see who comes to their windows when you find out which one it was, build them a cake or something |

Something a bit similar happened to me once, except I did a few mag dumps off the back porch with an AR. Neighbors are kinda close on the sides but we have 20 acres to the rear. Cops were called in regards to automatic weapons fire. He asked to see the AR and I agreed, he said "I'll go tell them it's legal, and not to call again"
And I'm in NY too, not even a free state. Sorry for your troubles |
