so apparently Blackman Township has a noise ordinance, i talked with them about it today. I was talking to one guy about it and some one else buts in(very rude) and tell me, "if some one is making ANY noise and it is bothering you, call 911!" Personally I think the best course of action is is to personally talk with the offending party.
but, I am the offending party, me, my mosin nagat and my mossberg 500, and several pistols.
I have 6 acres, I like to shoot, my neibor likes to call the cops.
cops show up(extremely profesinal, outstanding police officers, no lights, no guns casual convo) long story short, he tells me I have to be 450 ft away form any building, I correct him and tell him it is for hunting only, he dissagrees, leaves it at that. then he got talking abotu back stops and what not, though we were shooing into wood and did retrieve avery piece of brass, he says the DNR has some specifacations that need to be followed. he was curious what guns I had, and as I rateled off the names, him and the other cop started laughing and mage a joke refrencing super troopers that I didn't get.
they got back in their cars, and we started spliting the wod to get the projectials. Cop comes back... he apoligises for giving me band info tells me i'm right on the for hunting porpuses only. for targed practice distance doesn't matter. then tells me there is also a nois ordanance that he isn't 100%sure on the specifics, lets me know where I can get the info.(I got it today)
so my questions for you to al fight over,
1.)is a nois ordance unenforcable when pertaining to a firearm?
2.) does any one know about these DNR required backstops? I can't find a thing.
