Unless that's a local HOA rule, it don't jibe with Florida law. Shoot anywhere as long as the bullet stays on your land

I think subsection b is the work around you need. If you just put a pallet against the chain fence on your property line then you would be screwed. If you have a trap, berm or other enclosure that would by reasonable measure be safe then you should be good to go. However as they always say, the devil is in the details. You may win the case but you may still take a ride.

A very risky work around. I think any decent prosecutor would argue (and quite successfully) that the very size and proximity of properties to one another (in my PUD, most properties are .1 acres in area and jammed right next to each other) would pose, by definition, an "unreasonable foreseeable risk to life, safety, or property." This, plus the noise factor (i.e. neighbors hearing gun shots and SWATing other neighbors) and the "children playing in the backyard" factor, etc. etc. If the properties were, at least, 1 acre each and the housing units an acre apart, you might be able to use that subsection B. But, as the famed acronym says...

NIMBY!
