Aspen Hill AdventuresBased on what I heard today...
Santa was really generous with new firearms AND ammo in the countryside. More shooting today than even on opening day for deer rifle.
Noticed many have bump stocks out here too.

p dog shooterThe Xmas after I graduated from the state patrol academy a very good friend of mine gave me a new pistol.
It was a chilly -25F I just had to shoot it.
So I stepped out the basement door and fired a couple of mags.
About five minutes later the neighbor called had asked what kind of gun did you get.
It is great to live in a free area.

NormanConquestMany years ago we had a very fine gunsmith + rifle builder in South Austin named John Turner. He worked out of his garage in a residential area. When rechambering a piece he would just go out back + fire a round into the ground. He had a new neighbor lady that panicked + called APD. When they showed + went out back to confront John, they saw his gunshop + the whole situation changed. They were now fans of his + in addition went + told the old bag next door to mind her own business + not harass this fine old gentleman. I loved it.

When I worked for a small very rural 6 man sheriffs dept.
I handled more then one shooting complaint.
Normally called in by some part time resident from a city.
I would show up and if the shooting was being done in safe manner.
I would tell the complainant will this is the country you know.
There is no law against shooting on ones own property. Or on public land.
They stand there with a dumb look.
Oh well.
