None other than a possible noise complaint from neighbors. Some people have ranges set up on property. Been a few news articles about that lately. Of course if police do get called you may get searched and pressured to stop shooting holes in your wall. Some PD may take you for a ride and make you jump the hoops till you prove innocence.

Haven't found any STATE ordinance. Just checking if anyone knows of one.

If no rounds leave your property I don't see why it wouldn't  be legal under the state statute that allows for the discharge of a firearm on your own property.

City ordinances aren't a factor anymore since the state legislature added teeth to the preemption statute.

No ordinance.  There is this though.....

Read it again carefully.

It doesn't prohibit shooting on one's property if you aren't reckless or negligent and ensure that none of your rounds leave your own property.

I wasn't arguing against the concept.  Just providing information on the topic of discharging a firearm on property.

You are uniformed on this matter.

People have already set up "micro ranges" with impunity.
