Get a supressor


.....for your shotgun

They DO exist.
 


Hell yes they exist, and they are not NFA because they are not a normal suppressor just a 32" barrel extension that screws into your choke tube.

I have one, it is called the Metro Barrel by Hastings.  The Metro barrel was built to shoot geese in more populated areas.  
The Metro Barrel makes your shotgun look like something Jed Clampett would own, but the Metro Barrel reduces noise and felt recoil.

I use it all the time on my Benelli to shoot pigeons and rodents around my house.  

MidwayUSA sells them

Also Federal makes Sub-Sonic 12ga ammo for Metro Barrel shotguns.....they do not work in a semi auto.

You can shoot safely on 3 acres if there is a mile of corn field behind you.


You can safely shoot shot shells with 300 yds. of field behind you. Buck shot, not so much. The little pellets lose energy quickly. Still have to be careful.


When I was a kid, we used to have shotgun wars.  We'd shoot each other with 12 gauges at 300-400 yards using birdshot.  I know, not bright, but we were dumb assed rednecks.

I'd have to see the layout before I'd assume it is safe or not, though.

A member here in MD had a similar problem.
He was shooting on a parcel of land that was pretty tiny.
Legal, yes but barely within the safe distances.
Neighbors kept calling the cops.
Finally, instead of throwing a temper tantrum (as some here suggest) MDshooter called the Sherrif.
He and the sherrif had a talk about the law, MDshooter carries a copy of the law with him and the SD has not been back since.
I know it is a crazy idea, but actually acting like a civilized human being will usually get you what you want, with a minimum of drama.

Personally, I would not feel like I was being a good neighbor if I was only sitting on three acres.  There is over a hundred contiguous acres at the family homestead (very much in the boonies), and yet I am very circumspect about any shooting on the property.  Preferrably on 4 July or New Year's Day when fireworks drown it out.

Harrasment is a pattern of behavior.
One contact does not harrasment make.


I'm trying to figure out what the complaint will be for.  There could be any number of laws/ordinances the deputy could use to 'build a case' against the OP - depends on the particular state/county/city laws.  Obviously, the deputy would need PC to support the arrest for violating said charges and the DA may or may not file on those charges.

But it does sound like someone in your neighborhood ain't happy about you shooting for whatever reason.

Might be good not only to investigate your state law but your county laws as well.  Due to a miracle bullet (a .22 bullet bounced through the backstop (stacked cordwood) traveled 1/4 mile, and got a heart shot on a kid bouncing on a trampoline - doa), many counties in Texas in Texas have in-acted ordinances (probably backed by a state law saying that they can) limiting shooting on small tracts of land (less than 15 acres iirc (but might be as much as 60 acres).  Of course, understand that native Texan land owners often have issues with any ranchette under 88 acres.

The OP has told us everything EXCEPT for how close his neighbors actually live to him.

Now, if his neighbors live far enough away that they CANNOT hear a firearm being shot during the course of a normal day, then the OP may have to go talk nicely to the Popo, and find out exactly what the complaint was about.

I live in town currently, and I have a neighbor behind me that has some extremely loud, and long lasting parties. Sometime until 2 or 3 in the morning, on week nights. I've called for two years on him, and really did no good. Recently I discovered he is a cop, which explains why 2 or 3 calls do nothing to stop the noise. Two weeks ago, I called for the last time.
I called 911, and politely explained that the resident behind me is having another one of his wild parties, and that I have recently discovered he is a city officer. I tell them I believe I know why all of my previous calls did no good. I told them I will call this last time, and if it continues, I will visit with the Sheriff.

The party quit in minutes, lights out.

Coincidentally, less than a week later, my dog became extremely sick, and nearly dies. It cost a ton of money at the vet.  The vet says he ingested something toxic. He does not run free, and only goes out in my fenced back yard. I am not making an accusation, just a statement of facts, and time.


What ever you do, just think ahead of what could possibly happen, and do what you can.

Keep a journal of everything at least, maybe even speak with an attorney.
