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..." I love rural Wisconsin and try to vacation there every year. If I were ready to retire I would offer to trade places with you. You could live here and listen to sirens.

I live a mile from a 500 member Sportsmen club.
7 days week rifle fire from 9am until sunset, clay birds every night until sunset.
I love sitting outside and listening to the sound of freedom.

Gunfire is the sound of freedom......  Even in Chicago. I would bet a bunch of Chicago homicides are justified, the shooter just walks off and disappears. Doesn't want to face a gun charge. The shooter walks off and disappears into the crowd....they all look alike, Where are they getting all the ammo from is the real question.

I’ve never had anyone say anything to me about my guns or hunting on the public patch near here, which has gotten pretty popular for casual walkers during the Plague, except to ask how I did, or to wish me luck. One time though, a busload of middle-schoolers stared at me in my camo and carrying a SxS 12 as though I were Usama bin Laden. I was all primed to lecture them on who paid for the property they were starting their Duckie float from, but the teacher just smiled and kept quiet.
There’s an adjoining private property with a small berm built, and they blast away pretty good some days. Last season I heard some shots on the WMA, then later a hiker came by and mentioned he had expended some of his precious 9mms on his coffee cup. Later, I found the pieces. Fugger.
What fresh Hell is this?

I live at the edge of town. There is a gun range half a mile from me. The ammo shortage has really cut back on the constant shooting. I miss the sound.

I know a few folks who have moved out of peaceful and quite subdivisions to rural properties. They didnt find peace and solitude they found Atvs running around lots of gun shots and noise. Most moved onto 40 acres or better properties with good neighbors at the time they bought. Neighbors change and less desirable neighbors moved in. I guess if you can afford or find several hundred acres you can buffer but a smaller property is risky around here from what I can see.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

I have a new neighbor that has gun shy dogs. She beeeeeches when I shoot. The solution was I text her before I shoot. She's harmless enough. Then on the 4th of July wife and I were watching the other neighbors shoot fireworks. Crazy biotch pulls put of her driveway to go the half mile and complain about the fireworks.
Some people have a lot of nerve...
Now the same pita neighbor is parking on the edge of my land without asking...
I'm thinking it's time to shoot a couple 30rd mags without texting and tell them they park on land without asking. Why should I extend the courtesy of a warning before gunfire??
Hunt...

Costs a lot.

Courtesy is never a mistake. Good on you for trying. Maybe ask her if she wants to shoot your 22 sometime. She's obviously got much bigger problems than you. At least her dogs aren't pooping in your yard.

The ammo shortage is just awesome.
Right up until you need to buy some ammo.
