Omaha laws regarding pellet rifles - Need info please

<< < (2/2)

CliffD:
I had a rather simple air rifle range in my backyard before I moved. I had a privacy fence so the neighbors wouldn't get scared (even when I'm obeying all laws, I also try to consider other people's reactions). Anyway, I called the PD just to be sure I interpreted the law correctly. She told me over the phone (just as SFG said), keep the BB's in the yard and I'll be fine.

One day, we were walking out the door with a couple of air rifles just as a Patrol Car was going by. He turned around and came back to my drive. The Officer got out and came over to talk to us (my daughter and I). I wish I could remember his name...awesome guy and a very understanding Officer. He had us laughing before it was over.

We have since moved and I now am on the corner of a very busy intersection. I won't set up a new range here just because the risk is too great. I do have a really long finished basement though :) I set up an archery target with backstop and also do some air gun shooting there. It's about 40 feet is all, but fun for a quick shoot now and then.

we have a large population of black birds that often come to my yard and push all the red and yellow finches out, this upsets my wife, so well, now we don't have as large of a blackbird population.

on nice days I'll sit in my family room with the sliding door all the way open and a pellet gun in my hands while sitting on the couch.
Its fun, although one neck shot of a blackbird in our birdbath was a real mess.
but again I have a 6 foot high wood fence and I keep in mind the angle of my shots.

and yes, we have some nocternal critters and I'd toss all the dead birds between my fence and my smoke house, and they'd all be gone.
Now if you look in my back yard around midnight you'll see a couple stray cats going over to that corner looking for lunch.

>Setting a stellar example for Non-Firearms Projectile Safety.

>Minimizing fossil fuel by-product pollution by not driving an internal combustion engine during long hunting trips.

All Good Stuff.  Sounds to me like a candidate for some kind of combined PETA/Environmental/NRA Award.
