How far do you have to be?

[CEHollier]

So you were within the 500 or 100 foot distance I presume?

I would also presume 100 feet of a public road. Not a private road.

Yes. I was about 250 feet from my house

 

[dustyk70]

Did the high powered rifle rounds only travel 74 yards and fall to the ground?

Well do they fall after 500ft. or stop for traffic after 100ft? Just askin'

Ouachita Parish law is actually really good on this. "within 300 yards of a residence of another", and an exemption if you have verbal permission.

 

[machinedrummer]

Pollock?

I didn't know Cat was Polish. jj I dont know about the law but my neighbors know I can't hit anything past 25ft anyway.

 

[ajt2341]

It does say within 500 feet of ANY residence, guess it doesn't matter whose residence it is.

 

[dustyk70]

Easy Snook.

Actually it's a czech community around here. But I actually hail from the Greenville, Miss region.

And he meant Pollock, the community in Grant Parish. Also home to one of our federal prisons.
