[hawk-eye]

I live in Cobb county on 1/3 acres. I have 2 county maintained roads close but over 300 ft at their closest. I know the 16-11-103 but are there other restrictions?
Please advise .thx

unless Cobb cty has different laws, Ga state law is 50 yards from a public roadway, otherwise nada.

Other residences?
In my neighborhood it wouldn't make much difference, the law would be called.

Where and even when...both matter....
I wanted to get some pistol in today and have access to a great chunk of property. However, hunters will be out soon if they are not already... So out of respect for them as I suspect many would give me, no shooting today...….

they callem on me at least once a year, they come out see my small berm, when I am from the road and go tell the callers I'm legal, welcome to the south. My little 1/3 acre after my 42 yrs here is now surrounded by mansions on 15 acre lots and they always freak out specially if they're having a "garden party"

Need to determine if there are any restrictive covenants in your deed, or local ordinances. Local ordinances are probably the biggest problem.

I looked this up awhile ago, 50 yrds from a road and in Cobb the projectile cannot leave your property nor can you shoot over another property without premission.

Got any Tannerite? That's always a good ice breaker with the neighbors.

Anything after that will seem tame by comparison.

How big does a berm need to be?
