Neighbors keep calling the cops

I highly recommend a binary trigger if you decide to push the snowflake the rest of the way over the edge. It has worked wonderfully in this neck of the woods recently. :p

Yep! When you stop shooting, they think it was their complaint that did the job. Keep shooting. Even better, shoot WHILE the POPO is there.
Invite the law to try some of your collection, have some burgers on the grill when they show up.
 
I cant wait to close on our piece of land we are looking at. It is straight up woods and earth where I plan to make my spot.
 
You've tried to be respectful and you're still being harrassed. No problem, now shoot whenever you want and don't worry about it. It's not your problem.

Eventually the cops will get tired of whoever is calling and will deal with the offending party in their own way.
 
Neighbors beside me had a birthday party this past weekend. They did a little shooting, Shot some tannerite. Wasn’t 10 minutes after I heard the tannerite go off, deputy showed up. Guy on the other side of him is a pansy ass liberal.

A couple years ago i had been working on an AR pistol and needed one part. The gun show was in town that weekend so I went hunting said part. Found it, brought it home and installed it. Took it out for a test drive, fired 10 rounds. TEN rounds. Yes it was on Sunday but it isn’t against the law. 10 rounds.

A few minutes after I put the gun up i hear a car pull up outside. Was this little old woman that lives up the road. Like a 1/2 mile up the road. Apparently she’s there to chastise me for shooting on Sunday. I was just as nice to her as I could be, for a bit. When she kept going i asked finally “ma’am, are you married? “

“My husband died years ago”

Me- “I’m sure he died first because he wanted to”

She continued to tell me that she was older and knew more than me, and I explained to her that as smart as she thought she was, ignoring my “No Trespassing “ sign wasn’t very smart and if she ever came back on my property I’d have her ass arrested.

Ask anyone that knows me, I’m just as respectful as anyone can ask. But i was tired of her nonsense
 
They have to file a report, correct?

Next time, ask them for the police report number, or straight up go to the cop shop and tell them what you want. Of course they may try to stall you, but in the end it's public record. Have times, dates, etc. as GreatGazoo mentioned.
 
Agree with everyone on the "don't stop after the law leaves" Reinforcing their idea that they made you stop. Lucky where I live. If I start shooting, within about 15 minutes, neighbors up the road will start, then the guy on the next property and so on. We all seem to look at it as hey, good idea and nice day, I better burn some rounds too!
 
The complainer may not know where the shooting is coming from, just that they dislike it or are scared. The officers won’t tell the complainer who you are any more than they’ll tell you, but I bet if you gave them a card with your name and cell phone number, or a short letter with the same saying that you’d like the opportunity to figure out if there is some way you can shoot around their schedule if they are trying to put the baby down or whatever, that they’d deliver it. Even if they don’t, they’ll appreciate your effort and if you do ever end up in front of a judge it can only be a good thing.
 
Thumbs up for trying the nice way first. If that don't work and said activity is legal, then I guess they are going to have to deal with it.
 
I agree with the others that you don't stop shooting.
I also encourage you to keep trying to work out a schedule. When you talk to the neighbors express your concern about the use of LEO time that could be keeping them from being able to respond to a true emergency like a school shooting. If you agree to a time, then everyone knows that shots outside that time might be nefarious and that would be better for LEO time. I would also lament how you hope that laws change to make it easier for you to shoot suppressed, but the politicians in DC don't believe that the noise from shooting is a problem for your hearing or as a neighborhood nuisance right now.
 
I thank the shooting gods everyday that I don't have these problems. I thank them every day, because I shoot every day. We had a Deputy here last week, he is bringing his daughter for us to teach to shoot. We usually get them in just before their qualifying. They are amazing to watch........scary. It's not disrespectful to do anything that is legal in front of the officer. Shoot so the complainant can see and hear they are wasting everybody's time.
 
Well the range move isnt going as planned and my dad needs to test a setup for sunday so were gonna make some noise tomorrow anyways lmao


I will blow the horn on my way by tommorrow if you want more noise!
 
Yeah no kidding. Wont matter after this weekend. In a ccw class today with the wife then moving the range before i go shoot at the sfe shooters match tomorrow.
