No bible, says school to student

Neighbors fear stray bullets
A Florida man has set up a legal shooting range in his backyard in a residential neighborhood. Doug Varrieur’s neighbors in Big Pine Key have complained about the noise and fear stray bullets, but Sheriff Rick Ramsay says he was chagrined to find out that state law permits shooting practice on private property. “It’s almost the Wild West again, when we go back to firing wherever you want,” Ramsay said.
