The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in favour of Stroud Township's ordinance restricting firing guns to designated shooting ranges. Permits of zoning and occupancy are now required for indoor and outdoor shooting ranges.
This decision was made as there was a case against Jonathan Barris, who built a gun range on his property, prompting complaints from the neighbours.
The 2011 ordinance limits shooting ranges' locations, forbids firing between dusk and dawn, and requires a 150-foot distance from occupied structures. The ruling highlights the township's authority over firearm discharge regulations, which align with the U.S. firearm traditions.
While this is mostly supported, disagreement underscores the ongoing debates over balancing Second Amendment rights and public safety concerns.
