The last local public location I could go and shoot "anything" was forced to close by surrounding development. No longer is there a place that I can shoot beer bottles or explode things with Tannerite.
Even at the time of this pic below, the neighboring farm called the sheriff claiming I was firing on their property....nope. Since I was not the land-owner, and landowner was not present, I was invited to stop.....leave. I even tried to get him to shoot a pumpkin too.
But anyway, THIS TOPIC is for anyone that want to post your non-paper-target items you wanted to destroy with your Dan Wesson.

I wish my old photo host site hadn't crashed, I used to have a bunch of pics of exploding/exploded things. Next time I go to my "range" (just up on the mountain side) I will take the camera along.

I used to go to an old homestead where in the summer you would find a hillside of melons. The more you shot/exploded the more the critters loved it and the more seeds got spread around so every new year more of the hill became covered in targets. I miss that about Oregon, you drop a seed and a plant grew🍉

In Florida you can shoot anywhere except across a road or at or over a house. Might be hard to do in a subdivision but if you have a couple of acres it isn't a problem. A deputy came out once because he had a complaint. When he saw what we were doing he apologized and hasn't been back in 12 years. The state law says no city or county can pass a law more stringent than the afore mentioned state law.

You do not have a problem because you are sitting on more than 1 acre. For those in residential areas with a dwelling density of more than one dwelling per acre, you need to fit into 790.15(4)(b). There's a risk, depending on who determines whether or not "the discharge does not pose a reasonably foreseeable risk to life, safety or property".
The 2024 Florida Statutes (including 2025 Special Session C)
I don't think I want to test this statute.

It could be said that every direction is over a house or road in a subdivision. Some folks build underground Pistol ranges. I guess it could double as a gun room,/man cave. I removed 200 dump truck loads of sand/ dirt and have a below grade range. Into the hill. My buddy got the sand for free and I got my range.
