I live in rural Wisconsin and I have my own area, on my own land, to shoot when ever I want or need to....
I have a few folk that live in the near distance... that also have area on their own land to shoot... and I have a small quantity of Public land near by with little to no regulations for recreational shooting...
Before the ammo shortage set in.... One guy up on a hill just a mile to the west would be out by 930am Saturday and shoot guns all day 'till 3-4 pm... non stop. And then do it all the same on Sunday... gun fire all day, all weekend, EVERY weekend.
Other land owners around me that are from urban areas come out on random weekends and do the same from time to time... Then you add in the random recreational shooter on the public land near me and all you hear all weekend and some week days in the summer is non-stop gunfire...
The 4th of July weekend reminded me of how nice it is to have the ammo shortage... and not have to hear gunfire in the country all day, every day.
Now, when I occasionally hear gunfire off in the distance.... I think.... "that guy must be wealthy..."
Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.
They only win.... when they cheat.

My neighbors mention my shooting occasionally.... I tell them we live in rural Montana, it is what we do......
Maybe they should move to a more appropriate place

My neighbors called the sheriff multiple times. He finally told them there was absolutely nothing illegal about target shooting in the country. I have a better and higher dirt berm than the local shooting range. I tried to talk to them about times when it wouldn't trouble them so much but they wanted zero shooting. They are cousins that moved back after living 30 years in suburban Houston.

Still being many miles back in NF. They asked me why I was hunting where people come to hike and told me they didn't think that was safe. I asked why they were hiking where people come to elk hunt and confirmed, it wasn't safe. The head Karen's head looked like it was about to explode. Maybe I should have suggested she move to Wisconsin.

Move to town and you get to hear your neighbors argue, their dog barking all day, or a car parked running on the street at midnight with the stereo blaring.

Hasn't really affected me but if it makes it easier for me to get public land hunting permits then I may join your club.

Take no offense.
I should have said ‘especially in Chicago ‘.
Some would say folks there are doing a very good job.
It ain’t abuse when gangbangers annihilate each other down to the lowest common denominator,
But some folks do long to find offense .

Fewer yahoos at the local public range is a defanite plus. Pretty much had the range to myself this morning - no factory ammo was shot.

Like you, I and just about everyone that I know could care less in that gun control measures there and elsewheres speak clearly for themselves.

Sounds an awful lot like "Rules for thee but not for me", no? Hope no one fires up a chainsaw or a tractor on the weekend without a permission slip from Mikie. Rural living can be a real bitch...
