This is not about pending legislation or possible bills. This is something more serious. This is a possible lawsuit that could affect Court Decisions in lawsuits for years to come.
Some of you followed my thread awhile back where my neighbor was complaining about me firing my weapons on my property. I only fire them once every 2 or 3 weeks, here at my home, and for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Anything more than that, and I go down the road to a farmer's property who said I can shoot there. The point is ... I have a legal right to shoot on my property, and I am outside the city limits. There is no ordinance that states that I cannot do this.
Here is the previous thread ... http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=410661
I now have a letter from the Daviess County Attorney where this individual has filed a complaint against me. I have spoken to my attorney and responded to the letter in my own words.
My attorney is a gun lover as well, and he thinks that if the neighbor pushes the matter any further, and takes me to court, that the outcome could affect everyone's right to fire on their property in Kentucky. So, basically ... what my Attorney is telling me is that if this individual pushes it far enough, and he wins .... it could affect the outcome of many other lawsuits in Kentucky and spur further legislation against gun owners and their rights on their own property.
If you would like to see the official complaint that the neighbor filed against me .. I will gladly post it as proof. Please ... just ask, and I will scan and post it here.
Also, there are other suits in my county that are possibly going to affect gun owner's rights on their property. The latest being the following complaint against the local Police Department who has a firing range close to where I live.
