Forgive my conjecture in the Slice thread, but it did seem plausible that a neighbor might get whiggy over a firearm discharge (my county has similar restrictions - another story).See the problem is those are not legal in Hamilton co within 1000 yards of another residence.
I’ve thought about filling out a NFA for a silencer for my 10/22 though. Still not legal to shoot in the back yard but nobody would hear it.
Oddly, nobody complained when I shot the coyote.
I had a similar experience several years ago at my parents' home. They had new neighbors who saw me use a shotgun to discourage some birds from roosting in a dead tree that was scheduled to be removed. I was not shooting the birds, just making a racket. I'd actually removed the pellets and the only thing being shot was the cup and wad, but...whatever. The people did not know that the city ordinance where they'd moved said you could shoot a shotgun in city limits as long as you are more than 100' from a building. Cops came. Laughs were shared. New neighbors were pissed and never got over it.@VolNExile
Standing on the back porch sighting in the pellet rifle, you saw a picture of by shooting a brass bell, I heard the doorbell ring. I answered the door and the was 2 police officers standing there. I was holding the rifle and said “can I help you gentlemen”. One of them said “we’ve heard reports of some shooting a rifle here….could you put that down?” I told them it was a pellet gun and asked if they wanted to shoot it. They walked threw the house to the back porch and shot with me for close to an hour. While shooting I saw a neighbor walk out on their back porch, throw up their hands and go back in the house. They are from England and I know who called the police.
I have added a much larger and louder target bell at the fence line.

What’s it chambered in and the capacity? Looks like a deep mag well.Look what I got. View attachment 430700
Yeah 45 is slow (if you consider 850 fps slow) but heavy. I think it’s a good choice of round for self defense. A case can be made for each (45-9mm) for personal defense but at the end of the day it’s all about what you want to do. Anyway, love the gun and congratsIt’s 45ACP 10+1
45 moves slow, it is like throwing rocks at the target. So I call him David. The Jewish rock thrower.
