Thread: The Law - any clarity?

The law refers to "built up areas" ... what does this really mean? If I'm on 20 acres I'm okay unless I'm beside 2x1 acre house plots. Are there any facts or stats or is it a subjective situation based on basic firearm safety principles.
Any coppers or experts out there willing to share their legal thoughts? Facts please ... cheers Gunzrrr

Im on 25 acres in carterton and most of my neighbours shoot, clays one side and rifles the other. i have a range to 300 yds and no one has complained about the noise. Until i blasted a large stump, 6 complaints.
