Property question

Post by Jasonw560 »

I just wanted to clarify something.

I have a great place for practice in my subdivision (18 acres, only mine and 2 other houses up front in the whole thng, outside city limits), and just wanted to clarify that IF I have written notice from the developer (family friends, my mom introduced his parenst to each other), is that enough to be legal to shoot there.

Not sure that you necessarily require written permission. You're presumably legal to shoot there if you have permission to be there (i.e. not trespassing)...or at least you have a 46.15 non-applicability Defense to Prosecution to 46.02.
