Hi to all,
I am a new member residing in Ruckersville.I spent 12 years in the South African military and I am looking for a place to fire my 9mm Ruger P94 handgun and Hi Point 9mm carbine.I have been thinking of using my backyard which would be perfect for short range as I have heard others firing weapons not too far from me.I dont know if this is legal or not and may have to contact my local law enforcement officers.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks Tony

In most areas it is legal to fire your weapons on your own property as long as you have a proper backstop and the bullet doesn't leave your property and there isn't risk if it does. I can't find anything to suggest it is illegal. I would call local LEO and ask if it is or isn't and if they say it isn't that make sure to ask them to cite the law and were they can find a copy of it.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer so what do I know anyways. I could be wrong so don't take my word for it call your local sheriff.
