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?
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?
For 13 Acres:
Sec. 229.002. REGULATION OF DISCHARGE OF WEAPON. A municipality may not apply a regulation relating to the discharge of firearms or other weapons in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality or in an area annexed by the municipality after September 1, 1981, if the firearm or other weapon is:
(1) a shotgun, air rifle or pistol, BB gun, or bow and arrow discharged:
(A) on a tract of land of 10 acres or more and more than 150 feet from a residence or occupied building located on another property; and
(B) in a manner not reasonably expected to cause a projectile to cross the boundary of the tract; or
(2) a center fire or rim fire rifle or pistol of any caliber discharged:
(A) on a tract of land of 50 acres or more and more than 300 feet from a residence or occupied building located on another property; and
(B) in a manner not reasonably expected to cause a projectile to cross the boundary of the tract.
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.
