Is this woman real or is she somebody's sockpuppet?

Back under your rock, toad. This is the adult forum (or used to be).

lol,..Indy doing the White Knight routine.

This is a classic scenario regardless of a gun range. Homeowner ‘A’ buys a rural property an acre or two in size. They assume the current land use of their neighbors (or lack thereof) will remain the same. The surrounding land use changes or develops and homeowner ‘A’ get pissy. Buy a bigger piece of land next time.sorry

Shes exhausted every possible news source so now shes down to posting on the Fire.....

What Rambo Barbie Isn't Saying Here

“I’m all for guns. Some of my friends call me Rambo Barbie,” Misty Cintron said........................

The owner of the range that’s being built is going above and beyond - spending tens of thousands of dollars to make sure that the range is safe.

In a statement, Hernando County Code Enforcement said the owner is working with those officials to make sure the range meets requirements, which he says will include an 18-foot-high dirt berm. He also plans to build a 40-foot backstop wall on top of the berm.

He says he will exceed the legal requirements – but that’s little comfort to some of his neighbors.

The range owner told his neighbors he owns a range of firearms from .22 to .50 caliber that shoot a variety of bullets. He said he made sure when buying the rural property that he would be able to shoot guns on it and that safety is his top priority in building the range.

According to him, a backstop has been built that's currently 18 feet tall. He said he plans to apply for an engineering permit to continue adding onto it, and that the backstop will ultimately be 40-45 feet tall.

A Hernando County Sheriff's Office report dated Oct. 30 states that the backstop met and exceeded safety requirements based on the condition of the range at the time. It also noted that the owner appeared to be following the state law that addresses recreational shooting in a residential area.

Hernando County Code Enforcement said the owner wasn't in violation as far as land use.

Neighbors said another issue is that the range points in the direction of their homes. Misty Cintron said about 240 feet of woods separated the range from her home -- too close for comfort.

The property owner said he offered to turn the range slightly, but that neighbors didn't like that idea, either.

"No crime has happened, no law has been broken, but we still feel we are in dire peril," said neighbors.

Neighbors have spoken with State Rep. Blaise Ingoglia about the issue, as well as the sheriff's office. They've been told that there's nothing that can be done since the owner isn't in violation of laws or codes.

In a Friday report, neighbor Misty Cintron told WFTS that her family began to fear for their safety two weeks ago when they noticed their neighbor building a gun range near their home in rural Weeki Wachi, Florida..............................
...........Florida law allows homeowners to build and use a shooting range as long as their land extends beyond an acre. Cintron's property is less than an acre, so shooting a weapon from her property would be illegal. However, her neighbor is legally allowed to build the range and fire weapons because he is on a larger piece of land..........................
..........................."The fact that he can shoot at me, and I can't shoot at him is not equal protection," said Cintron to the outlet. "The fact that there is not a clear distance, and he is shooting military-grade weapons that are not accessible to the average person in Florida, that's not equal protection. My local enforcement is not able to fully protect me, so they are violating my right my civil rights."

The man claims the range poses no threat to his neighbors. Cintron disagrees, and suggests that bullets and shrapnel could easily make it onto her property.......................
.............The range owner, who is said to be a legally licensed commercial gun dealer, claims he plans to make improvements to the barrier. The man claims that he offered to move it "slightly to the right."

"Safety, safety, safety, is my top priority," the man told WFTS. "I'm not even close to being done yet."

One couple in Florida are learning this the hard way, after a neighbor began building a 100-yard range on his property behind their house in Weeki Wachee.

Cintron and her husband Jason said they built a home in the rural community for a better life. A few weeks ago, they noticed a large clearing behind their house.

“The fact that he can shoot at me, and I can’t shoot at him is not equal protection. The fact that there is not a clear distance, and he is shooting military-grade weapons that are not accessible to the average person in Florida, that’s not equal protection. My local enforcement is not able to fully protect me, so they are violating my right my civil rights.”

First of all, Cintron’s neighbor isn’t going to be shooting “at her.” He says the backstop is going to be 45 feet high, which will be more than enough to prevent any bullet from going anywhere near Cintron’s home. I don’t even know what she means when she says he’s shooting “military grade weapons” that the average civilian can’t get their hands on, but the gentleman in question told WFTS-TV in Florida most of his shooting will be using handguns.

Cintron said the county informed her Thursday night the county found no code or statutory violations with the building of the gun range.
The builder told us he plans to finish the home and range in the next 10 months. He invited us out to shoot and verify for ourselves how safe it was.

Cintron said he invited her too. She isn’t taking him up on that offer.

“My daughter is going to be fully prepared to at my death to take on the state that they failed me,” Cintron said.

Before I go any further, let me say that I am somewhat sympathetic to Cintron and her husband. When they moved in, they were expecting a quiet rural place. Now a guy’s building his personal gun range with a firing line about 175 yards from their house. Their life will undoubtably change once this guy moves in and starts shooting, and they’re probably going to be miserable. That sucks, and if I hated the sound of gun fire and didn’t want my neighbor to have a backyard range that backed up to my property, I’d probably be looking for another place I could move into within the next ten months.

However, the homeowner’s not doing anything against the law. He’s within his rights to have a range on his property, and Cintron is not, because her parcel of land isn’t big enough. He’s building his range safely, and there’ve been no code violations. More importantly, if this guy really wanted to hurt Cintron, as she seems to believe is the case, I don’t think he’d go through all the trouble of building a range in his backyard, and then try to fake an accidental and negligent shooting.

I’m guessing this guy is exactly what he told Cintron he was; a dude who’s excited and happy about having a place on his property where he can go shoot safely. I totally get it; it’s a wonderful feeling. In fact, just thinking about it makes me want to cut this piece short and head down to my shooting spot, but I will force myself to push through and reward myself with a quick trip to empty a few magazines as soon as this gets posted.

Should he have moved the range to make the couple happy, even if that meant shortening the range to 75 yards? I don’t think I would have, because if I were this guy, I wouldn’t be convinced that the move would ultimately satisfy the Cintrons.

This couple went to the local news station hoping for sympathy because they have no legal recourse.

While I don’t think Cintron’s in any danger from her neighbor’s backyard range, at least based on what I’ve seen, she will be hearing gunshots on a regular basis, and from not too far away. Her neighbor is doing his due diligence to ensure the range is safe, but I don’t know what he’ll be able to do about the sound short of using suppressors. You just know as soon as that range starts getting used the local TV station’s getting another call.

Well Sparky at least I'm not a keyboard warrior hiding behind a fake name.

For the record I also only interviewed with Fox News and ABC the other news stories didn't interview me at all. I do love how the owner said back in October though he was going to do all these things to make it safe and guess what??? Yep, wait for it..... he hasn't done a single one, you know public records can show whether a permit was pulled to built that 45 ft wall that doesn't exist that he told the media he was building as well if your IQ was over 2 and you knew how to do anything other than Google my name . The pictures someone one else posted that were taken just in February also show no 45 ft wall either all lies and we already discussed the sheriff dept deputies are not qualified to access whether a range is properly constructed, our attorney already pointed that out as well that they have no certifications or qualifications to make that call and their attorney advised that portion should not have been in the report, it was that deputy's personal opinion not that of the Sheriff Dept legal( cause God knows they want to cover their ass after that remark too if something happens they don't want to be the ones pinned that they signed off on it).

Again I'm only one of several houses out here who retained the same attorney and reached out to the State legislative but carry on you little keyboard warrior with your brave aka sparky fake name, you're such a big brave guy hiding behind that fake name and keyboard you remind me of a chihuahua a neighbor once had I'm done debating with you, I was told you can teach others but you can't fix ignorance and your character has showed that you are just a low class, ignorant, sexist, keyboard warrior so pound away on your response to this one because I won't bite back, you're not worthy or capable of having an intelligent let alone civilized conversation, you're "that guy" ...

There were several valid points on this thread some of which I will take with me and ponder but none of them were yours so trust me when you type all I hear is blah blah blahhhhh cause as I told you several pages ago until you are ready to stand down range on my property line and allow them to shoot at you with the same hole in the ground berm and no upper back stop then you're just a squawking bird, a little finch among crows and I guess that makes me the Hawk because I don't hide behind a fake name, a keyboard or ignorance. I am the one who is 240 ft down range being shot towards with no upper berm and hearing the blast. I am one of the several houses out here who put my money where my mouth was and lawyer-ed up .

I came on here to give our ( the several homes out here not just mine) view, some were able to see some valid points and take away and then there were ones like you who went totally off the rail and looked up my pictures from my personal social media pages and consider swimwear soft porn ( apparently you've never been to a Florida beach ) you couldn't keep to the topic you had to keep straying and just making it personal attacks on me which just shows your character not mine. It just shows you cannot have a reasonable conversation so any reply you make will be overlooked moving forward...

just because its legal, that doesn't make it right. if that guy knew he wanted a range, he should have bought more rural. he's a self-centered dickhead.


and ain't no way he's doing a 50 foot embankment. it would need a huge amount of space to get it that high.

wrong we looked into our lot before we bought and the land beside us is not zoned for rifle or sport shooting range, HE should've bought a lot that was larger and not up against one of the most desired residential neighborhoods in our county where several homes would take action against him for it. We have private ranges on some of the other out skirt areas as well, no one is suing them or complaining about them,, you know why.. because they were smart enough to aim their berms away from homes rather than our guy who pointed it in the one direction of his property that faces everyone's homes out here. We asked him to turn it in the beginning and he chose not to,

As for women voting, you and Aka Sparky should get together you are clearly intimidated by a woman who probably makes more than you and clearly has much more intelligence than you with a comment like that

Makes you wonder about all the other potential ranges that may pop up in the area in future.

We had the other problem with suburbia creeping into the area of a long established range - safety complaints were unfounded so mainly complaints about noise now. Moron house buyers obviously didn't hear the gun fire during the inspections. We were here first and are winning the battle - they've been whinging for a long time now but seem to be able to cry themselves to sleep at night okay.

A 45 or 50 foot "fence" capable of stopping a .50 BMG, or a 30-06 FMJ, would have to be made from some pretty thick timbers. Several feet at least, and either overlapping or two fences with packed dirt in between. That would cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ain't no way the perp is going to spring for that.

And where the heck do you even get timbers 50 feet tall? Oh, they have to be sunk into the ground? Gonna need some concrete.

Concrete block walls? Hate to tell ya but a 30-06 will knock a hole right through them.

Many years ago I read of an experiment where various ammo was fired through pine boards 3/4 inch thick. 30-06 ball penetrated 72 of them. Now solid oak is not the same as pine boards but you get the idea. When one of my clubs had ricochet problems--and we had bulldozed what we thought was a safe berm--the NRA told us how to do it. The resulting assessment was well into six figures (I forget exactly how much). The solution wasn't anywhere near 50 feet tall.
