Oklahoma man doing target practice in his backyard accused of fatally shooting woman blocks away

12. The only state law for target shooting in NJ is you can't shoot across a public road.

In a state that restricts most hunting by firearms to shotguns, due to the state’s population density, one can still legally target shoot with a high-powered semi-automatic weapon on private property, in a residential neighborhood, even up to a neighbor’s property line, with no distance restrictions to the neighbor’s private residence, as long as the shooter is using some sort of berm to stop the bullets. Many municipalities have their own ordinances prohibiting or restricting this practice, but others don’t. My town doesn’t have any restrictions and no one has been shot this way, so far. Where I live, all have been due to domestic violence, with the wife usually on the receiving end, while the husband was typically “cleaning” a loaded firearm in the house, in the middle of the night, etc.
