Super lame... does anyone know if this would impact the Kingsbury DNR range? I know there's a few houses in the area, and one of them looks like it might be right on the threshold of 1000 feet.

That is crap. Our county fish and game range would have to close if that became the law here.

Lake county, the next most populous county in the state and super liberal right next to ILL has a 200' restriction, that was in place before the preemption laws BTW. To be 100% clear to shoot on your own property under a 1,000' rule, you'd have to be shooting in the dead center of 72 acres of circular land. SEVENTY TWO acres. How is that in any way "not very far"? |

1000' = 333.3 yards.

up here it's within 100 yards unless you have the building owners permission. 1000 ft is quite a stretch when you have to factor in all directions not just the direction you are shooting.
If you have one neighbor 200 yards away down the road, with that law you would not be able to shoot on your property. |

What is the conservation/natural resources law on distance? 500 feet from a dwelling? There regulations for hunting on state land. Regulations prohibiting shooting / tracking onto neighboring properties without permission ect. ect. those really fall on trespass laws though. If you shot at an animal standing in front of an occupied dwelling (but was standing on property you were allowed to hunt) there could be charges related to recklessness but not the hunting itself... assuming you were on property you were lawfully allowed to hunt on. Since you mentioned "conservation" there are rules and regulations on that state land, usually they include something like no hunting within 100 yards of the borders of xyz, I don't hunt on public land so I haven't taken the time to drill down on those specifics. |

I'm in the county every day. It's primarily open farmland and wood lots You've got Michigan City to the north on the lake and LaPorte. Sounds like some leftist's snuck onto one of the county commission's and is trying to enact some sort of gun control by other means.

Exactly. I've got over a mile before the next house in the direction I shoot BUT if this law were to pass here I'd have to use the backside of my berm and shoot in the direction of a single house that would be within 1000 feet of the back of that berm. What sense does that make? Granted I have a 12' high berm that runs about 50 yards wide so they wouldn't be in a danger at all but still, it's a ridiculous thing to propose. at 100 yards, a 12 berm sweeps out 2.29 degrees of angle. That's nothing. people shoot over the top of berms all the time, and it has resulted in deaths Shooters are always insisting that their backyard range is safe, 99.99% of the time they are not safe. When you point it out, they call you a gun grabber or a pussy. Because they have no logical argument to present. A guy was shooting a 9 mm about ten years ago, triggered a round over a high berm, the bullet went just about maximum range and killed a child eating at a restaurant. |

It's over 3 football fields. Pull up google maps and use the distance tool. Marion county (Indianapolis) doesn't have any distance restrictions. Lake county, the next most populous county in the state and super liberal right next to ILL has a 200' restriction, that was in place before the preemption laws BTW. To be 100% clear to shoot on your own property under a 1,000' rule, you'd have to be shooting in the dead center of 72 acres of circular land. SEVENTY TWO acres. How is that in any way "not very far"? So you would have to be 1000' from a neighboring property as well as 1000' from a residence? |

If OP's grammar is accurate that would prohibit shooting within 1000' of your own home even if you lived in the center of your own 5,000 acre ranch. |

It's dead, the turnout was unreal tonight. 90 minutes of public comments and most people didn't speak but were wearing pro gun shirts and NRA hats. Not a single comment in favor. It was an epic smack down. Attempted 1000 Ban in LaPorte County Dead |
