> Try discharging a weapon anywhere near a major metropolitan area

I used to do it all the time in a major city. Shooting ranges exist inside major metropolitan areas you know.. ;)

Yes, I know that isn’t what you meant, but broad waving statements deserve this kind of response imho.

Yes, and those could fall under the properties you own exception (or have permission to use from the owner).

[jsjohnst]

Again, wrong. If I own a property in a major metropolitan area, I generally can’t discharge a firearm in the city just because I do it on my own property.

This is why I said, in my original comment, "and the property is large enough" (implying it doesn't interfere with others; or you have a permit, ...).

I'm sure you knew that though. What exactly is your point? Would you like me to rewrite my original post in fully specified legalese just so you can't nitpick? :P

[jsjohnst]

Where did you say “the property is large enough”?
