The bill, sponsored by Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, would make it a first-degree misdemeanor for people to intentionally shoot guns in outdoor areas that are “primarily residential in nature” and include one or more residences per acre.

People should be allowed to have shooting ranges, but they need more than 1 acre. I have 1.2 acres and there is no way I would be shooting .22s or any gun.

Somebody with 5-10 acres and a good backstop should be allowed to have a home range.
