[Hammerknight]

This may already be somewhere in here but I need to know if Henderson Co. has any laws about gun ranges on private property out side of city limits? Could anyone help me?

I reside in Henderson County as well. I have been googleing for the last 30 minutes and have found nothing. You may have to contact the county commissioner in your pct or the county clerks office.

Counties are limited to what State Law allows.

You are outside city limits but are you in the RTJ?

Are you in a subdivision?

How much acreage do you own?

How far away is the nearest occupied dwelling from your range?

13 acres, 200 t0 300 yards from dwelling, not in subdivision, not sure about RTJ. As it sets right now it is a pit dug into the side of a hill, I plan on digging it out some more and adding the dirt around the top to increase the height of it. It will be 100 ft or so long, really short but I'm going to scale down the targets. The are trees on top of the hill but I'm thinking about a 6ft wooden fence to edge around the dirt pile in the direction of the dwelling. I'm also thinking of some type of roof baffle set up to cover it because it is not every wide. It will be open enough for fresh air. At the most it will be just for my wife and I, so there will not be shooting everyday.

Had to google it as I keep forgetting. Now it is bookmarked. It s Local Govt. Code.

For reference, 229.003 was added in 2009 at request of Frisco.
