If I am shooting full auto on private property can the police/sheriff come onto the land if they are called or hear it? It is a very rural area (where everyone shoots anyway) and we will be at least 500 yards from anyone else's residence in a somewhat wooded area posted no trespassing?
Thanks

Check your county, town, village ord. about discharging firearms, if any at all, usually distance to dwellings must be observed for safety reasons. Make sure that your back drop is over built too. Walls built of used tires filled with sand, stacked and staggered is best, and could be covered with almost anything for cammo.
Full auto goes great with a can (sound suppressor), so no calls are made to the police, because no one is disturbed by the noise that full auto makes! The officer driving by can not hear it so, he just goes about his or her business too! Get the can, they work and saves on the flow of bull-s_it in your direction!
Private Property, is just that, "private", post it and on the posting state, "DANGER due to the discharging of arms, un-authorized entry into, or onto area could lead to serious injury or even death!" This should fill any legal requirements,and curtail suits before they are started.
As for LEO's entering your property, it is touch and go, but in rural areas it would dictate no, simply because it is common to hear weapons discharge everyday.
Deal with all situations, with reason, and again get a can for that auto, for privacy!
