Tim did you get an answer on that one? For $25 a day, I'll be out shooting too!!! Shit, I would cover the cop's $25 fine and ask him to join me!

Ummmm, my town only has 2 cops.
One day a couple of years ago, when I had just finished building a bullet trap, I called the Chief at home ([i]Christmas eve[/i]) to ask if I could test it out in front of my house... He said sure, but to wait for the other cop to arrive. The Chief then drove into his office to man the phones, just in case somebody called in a complaint... Nobody ever did!
The cop that came over to my house, parked his car ([i]vanity plates read "Cuffem"[/i]) at the end of my driveway. The cop took the first few shots into the trap with his duty 9, and then I started to unload with a 9, 40, 45, 44mag. After about an hour of shooting every possible handgun we could get our hands on, I got a stupid grin on my face and asked Brad ([i]cop[/i]) if he thought it would hold up... Brad knew I was referring to shooting an AR into it, and said "Hell ya, go get it!"
I grabbed an AR from my vault and went to the end of my driveway ([i]50 yards[/i]). After about 5 or 6 shots, the mailman drove up and said he heard us from the other side of town, and literally thought there was some type of "situation" taking place.
I don't know if my neighbors are cool, or just afraid to speak up, but they have never questioned anything I do... Well, not to me anyway! [}:D]
FWIW: We now shoot inside of my garage, with the [b]triple insulated[/b] door closed. Hell, we have even fired full-auto in my garage many many times!
