They shooter may be drunk. Aslo, there may be large vegetation in that huge backyard, so the person walking around there may not be seen.

So a tresspasser on your property? I would shoot them, they shouldn't be there. Anyone who should be there )ie lives on the property) Would know to be careful and announce themselves when the know someone else is target practicing.

Exactly. Not to mention that there are millions of people in the US that target practice in their backyards with no issues that sapphi tries to raise as problematic.

As I type this, I am 1 mile from a gun range, and about 50 feet from a neighbor that shoots in his 1 acre backyard almost every day. As long as you have remotely intelligent people, there won't be issues like sapphi assumes are reasons for making something illegal.
