Thanks Chuck.Well guys were gonna have a for fun pin match on october the 9th at #2 (the one with the backstop and moat),No entryfee and braggin rites is the prize.So the lone area left open to shoot in the BZ is PIC 2 on the map. All other areas are closed and off limits.
Hey fellas my Name is Chuck and I work for the Hancock County Sheriffs Department with Sgt. Borja. I work in the Buffer Zone and will try and clear a few things up. First off, it's LEGAL to bring firearms to Mississippi from La. in order to shoot. Just don't have any long guns loaded inside your vehicle. PIC 2 is the only location on the map that is OK to shoot. PIC 3 at the cemetery is NOT OK to shoot. PIC 1 is NOT OK to shoot. The bad news is the area that floods and now has the tape across it is no longer open to the public. Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries is clearing that land off and building a range for the Sheriffs Department. We will be giving warnings to people if caught shooting there first time, the second time we will issue a tresapassing citation and after that an arrest will be made. State Law in Mississippi states that properties DO NOT have to marked Posted or No Trespassing for it to be Trespassing. We try and be courteous and give people the benefit of the doubt for first offenses. We're not trying to be assholes and most of us enjoy shooting as much as you guys do. Our main gripe is the people who do not shoot safely and leave trash. If you're out there and see people being unsafe, drunk, littering please call 228-466-6900 and report it. As long as you stay in the designated area you won't have any problems. I will post any new information I get regarding any changes. Post any questions you have and I will answer or find out the answer. Happy shooting.

It's closed for good. The State is going to sign it over to the Sheriff's Office. It's not gonna be open to the public for now. So the lone area left open to shoot in the BZ is PIC 2 on the map. All other areas are closed and off limits.
