Hank. Note the article states “A month ago, on Christmas Day, a grandfather in Volusia County was working in his back yard when he was hit in the chest by an errant bullet fired from a neighbor’s yard. Bruce Fleming, 69, died less than an hour later at a local hospital.”

If bullets were overflying your property, you might a howling to the press and police. And doubtful you would see this as a feature to be touted to prospective buyers should you be attempting to sell over-flight property.

Those rules are too restrictive.

“I said to my wife: ‘Do you know the only rules to discharging firearms on residential property are that you can’t fire over a right-of-way of any paved public road, highway or street, you can’t fire over any occupied dwelling and you can’t fire recklessly or negligently?’” Varrieur said. “That’s it.”

If a person is doing no harm, then so the heck what. The statute makes clear that if a person is being “reckless or negligent” they will be held to account. If you hit someone while target shooting, that, IMO, by definition is reckless as a person following all NRA safety protocols will never “accidently” shoot another.

Habeas corpus. Who was harmed? Is it harmful to you if a plane flies over your property? Yes, if it crashes into your house or a person. Otherwise, no.
