Stray bullet hits house, raises questions about backyard gun range safety

After finding a bullet lodged in the side of his home in Golden Gate Estates, Michael Simonik said that he doesn't know where it came from - but that he hears gunshots all the time in neighborhood on 14th Avenue Northeast. Backyard gun ranges aren't uncommon in the Estates, but a Florida law enacted in 2016 makes it illegal to shoot a gun on residential property where there is more than one house per acre. Reckless or negligent shooting - such as firing over occupied homes - is a misdemeanor.
