Roosters, tractors, mowers, leaf blowers, stereos, tillers, weed wackers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, trenchers, backhoes, dozers, excavators, gun shots, dump trucks, pickups with dual exhaust, rice burner "tuner" cars, nail guns, compressors, cows, sheep, alpacas, road tractors, wood splitters, chippers, brush hogs, pressure washers, ATVs/UTVs, horses, high school marching bands, high school sporting event PA announcements......all noise pollution that travels well beyond property lines.
All and more are parts of life around here. Gun shots are near the bottom of the list of frequency. Most folks don't fear the neighbor running a brush hog or chainsaw or the high school marching band. For some reason, just because a gun is going off, neighbors get "frightened." We shoot here on Saturday and Sunday afternoons occasionally. Fortunately, most folks here understand that it is just part of the way of life we choose.
As long as shooting is done safely and legally, neighbors can't say much and neither can law enforcement.
