Shooting on your own acreage

(1/3) > >>

Range Mom:
Just bought 33 acres in Cass County.  Can anyone point me to a resource/reference with guidelines for shooting on my own property?

Thanks in advance!

SemperFiGuy:
In general, you can't:

>Endanger neighbors.   (Projectiles can't leave your property boundaries.)

>Endanger visitors.   

>Cause a noise problem or nuisance for neighbors or public.

>Violate federal/state/local environmental laws. 

Rather than depend upon us legal cowboys here on the Forum, you might want to consider actually contacting a knowledgeable attorney in Cass County (not Omaha) to get the proper legal counsel on this issue.   Probably would take about one visit.

If you want help setting up your range, please holler.

Range Mom:
Thank you for the advice, I think a visit would be well worth the peace of mind.  Much appreciated :)

I don't know what the NRA range program might be able to do for you or what their service might cost but it might be worth looking into:

The NRA Range Operations charge is $350 for a non-NRA-affiliated range 1-day visit by an NRA Range Technical Team Advisor (RTTA).   This service is primarily for functioning public and private shooting clubs. 

I happen to currently be an NRA RTTA and frequently serve to carry out range visits after a formal request is cleared through NRA Range Operations Headquarters.

RTTAs may also carry out range visits as individuals on their own volition without clearing them through NRA Hqs.  Such cases are then not NRA-official and no final report is cleared through NRA Range Operations.  And no indication may be made of any connection with NRA.

In this present case, any services would be direct and pro-bono, to help out a fellow Forum member.  And there would be absolutely no linkage whatsoever with that Great Big Shooting Sports Organization back east.
