i so agree with the new gun laws..keep ur guns but use a gun range and shoot until ur heart is content...but please stop shooting in our neighborhood, bullets can go anywhere...i hv found a bullet in a book inside our storage shed,,,broken windows..people walking around with guns across my land...what does it take.....for them to put a stop to all of this noise with guns...someone to die...even a child that does not not where the land line are....please stop this before someone gets killed..i am terrified of guns...please shoot at a gun range....tks and God bless..

sounds like some clowns down there need to be fined for reckless handling of a firearm instead of imposing limits on ALL gun owners. What do I know. Take away more of our rights.

I agree. There needs to be a firing range, it would bring in big$$$. I soo hope they pass a law in the county. I'm so tired of shots flying around me, I've dropped everything & went into the house because they're so close. I know you're not safe in the house either, but what else do you do? When the cops get there, the shooting stops, I found out they have police scanners so they know when you call the cops. I've even been woke up at night, & had a kid tell me my neighbors let people "coon" hunt on their land?!!? The sheriff's dept. said sadly there's nothing we can do since we live in the county. We even had a bullet hit a fence beside us when we were covering our pool, & there were people at a carport sale next door. There DEFINITELY needs to be an amendment to the law, when they're so close you can see them on the other side of your fence, but because this is the county it's not against the law!! PLEASE BRING A CHANGE!

Sounds like an excellent reason to open a gun range in DeSoto. We're tired of driving to Memphis to go to a range!
