Thinking about moving from NoVA to RVA. Anybody know how much land is needed in order to shoot on your own property?

I do believe that its just 500 feet from any other dwelling that isn't owned by you. Though that isn't even really secure since you could move next door to some liberal demotard and if they are connected to any of this states Nazi pigs, well it wouldn't be good for you. Best bet is to move out more into tye country and get five acres or more. Charles.

Will you be in the city of Richmond, Henrico County, Hanover County, Chesterfield County? It varies. Richmond is no go, unless at a range. Hanover is 100 Yards from any occupied dwelling. Henrico and Chesterfield are a little more free, but as said above, you might get grief from neighbors. Usually nothing happens, other than wasting your time. When I lived in Varina, (eastern Henrico County) the U.S. Park ranger stopped by one day. His big concern was that I wasn't hunting on the park service property, and I wasn't shooting towards the road. I showed him my back stop, and he was satisfied.

The good rromeo is correct. "It depends" is the answer. I would also recommend that you check not only the county/city "at large" ordinances but also see if you live in a "no shoot" zone. I say that as here in Stafford County there are a few areas where shooting is expressly prohibited due to the built up nature of the area, homes, roads, etc. So you could be moving to Chesterfield county, for example, and think you are fine only to discover you live in a place that is further restricted. Good hunting, figuratively speaking!
