[QUOTE="crrcboatz, post: 2401064, member: 32702"] Attorney fees were 12,000 bucks and he lost. castle what he found out was noise abatement is a county by county basis and is up to the judge with the final say. Also he was permitted for it through the county but the judge said the county applied the permit rules incorrectly. It would have cost him 10,000 more up front to appeal it. I will tell you after this, ANYONE putting in a range of any type should do their homework on permitting and noise abatement in their county. Local politics can completely control your project. The days of moving some dirt for berms, putting up some targets and shooting to your hearts content are over, even in Oklahoma. Everything must be permitted. I thought that since he had 280 acres the neighbors could not touch him. They too had a lawyer and those people are now trying to force my friend to pay their lawyer fees!!!! Laugh if you want but beware a cavalier attitude on shooting in rural areas is not a good idea. We also had the owner of our marina on Oologah Lake hit by a stray 9mm bullet last week. It went through her arm but did not touch the bone. With the help of neighbors and the sheriffs office the shooter was identified. He had been target practicing near the area. This will be litigated too. We all need to rethink the idea that if we are on our own land enjoying our firearms we have no liability to those around us. [/QUOTE]
