Stray bullets, noise from home gun ranges concern neighbors

Recurring instances of noise complaints, and stray bullets striking homes, has resulted in numerous calls to the Collier County Sheriff's Office - and even some arrests for reckless or dangerous practices. Florida state law makes backyard gun ranges legal in areas where private properties - with only one home per property - measure at least one acre. Most properties in the large subdivision of Golden Gate Estates are an acre or larger.
