If you were my neighbor would you get mad......?

[Automaget]

ok i live on a pretty busy road its a 4 lane road with no mediun only a left turn lane so i guess it would be 5 total its very busy and i live right on the corner and i like to shoot my paintball gun just for fun alot of the time im really good with it i alwas keep the safty on and i never shoot if i can see people in front of me comeing with bikes or just walking i dont really know my neibors that well they pretty much keep to them selvs and just do whatever and i havent recieved a complaint or police call yet (hopefully i never will) but back to my point i just kinda shoot my RT pro at my fence with a house in front of the fence so i guess you could say im shooting at a house with a fence in front of it and the fence is 6 feet tall and i havent hit the persons house yet (i hope) and im really into the whole "dont make paintball a bad thing" so just to reasure my self what should i do keep shooting just plinking around in my back yard becuase either yard i go to has a road with side walk. heres a pic
so just want to know if its ok or not

What type of fence is it? If its a chain link fence or somthing similar that paint or even a whole paintball can fly through, then no, its not okay. Otherwise, it'd be a tough call. I'd say your best bet is to just save your gun and paint for the field.

IMO, not worth the hassle, just make a target or get a plywood board and turn it into a target to shoot at. A good thing to do, is buy a tarp and make some kind of thing to hold the tarp with and shoot at that, easy to clean and store.

As long as you dont shoot it late at night or go over the fence, i wouldnt be mad...

do you live near 8 mile?

My neighbor got pretty angry at me one time for firing off my 98c in the backyard... I have a plyboard cutout of my brother, so I have a lifesize target to shoot at with pine trees and a fence to stop the balls from going anywhere but my yard.

This lady just didn't like the sound or something... It was at about 7 at night and I was just trying out some new parts on my gun.

I stop firing for a second and hear... "STOP IT... JUST (SWEAR)ING STOP IT!"

I laughed, fired off the rest of the paint I brought and went back inside. I didn't have a problem ticking her off seen as how her old (21+) children shoot off bottle rockets and fireworks that often end up in our yard.

As long as the fence is not a neighbors and you haven't hit anything, I guess it is ok. I personally made a tagert out of plywood (sp?). it is safer and you can spaypaint a bullseye on it.

PS:you neighbor might not have dont anything yet because you have a "gun" j/k

Check your local laws. In some places its a crime to fire any short of "gun" within a certian distance of an occupied area.

Hey it beats my "range" which consists of a short hallway, my shower, some cardboard, and an old shower curtain.

technically its not a gun its a marker

[Setzer]

Yes, it is a gun, its just not a "firearm". Many laws out there lump paintball guns with firearms. In many places you cannot discharge a paintball gun in city limits.

It would be courteous and proper to speak to your neighbors about it. They may have pets that freak out at the sound of a paintgun or may themselves freak out.
