Discharging firearms on your own property in AZ?

[picodroid]

Can anyone provide me with info, or direct me to some resources, discussing the laws around shooting guns on your own property in AZ? I've done some searches but I must not be using the correct terminology because I can't find much. Things I find mainly just say that you cannot discharge within city limits or within a specific distance of an occupied structure, or talk about firing on BLM or forest land.

Where can you buy property that you are allowed to shoot on? Are there processes to go through before you can discharge on your own property?

As I understand it, G&F says no shooting within 1/4 mile of an occupied dwelling and the state (apparently not enforced) says 1 mile. Either way, that requires a healthy sized chunk of land. I know of at least one shooting range that does not meet the above criteria, so there must be a way.

I own quite a few acres in the desert north of Phoenix and the only restriction I am aware of is no shooting within a quarter mile of a building. I shoot right off my patio there. For a couple years there was a California idiot who bought land nearby and complained about the noise but I eventually made his life so miserable he sold his land to me and moved.

I do have a berm at 200 yards and steel out to 2,000 yards and the backdrop is a mountain. Just be sure that you don't have rounds bouncing into someone elses property.

Game and Fish say's nothing about recreational shooting within 1/4 mile of a building.
They say you can not hunt within 1/4 mile of an occupied structure unless you have permission from the owner.
If you own the building or have permission from the owner you can shoot out of the windows if you want.

A.R.S. 17-309A.
Unless otherwise prescribed by this title, it is unlawful for a person to:

4. Discharge a firearm while taking wildlife within one-fourth mile of an occupied farmhouse or other res- idence, cabin, lodge or building without permission of the owner or resident.

ARS 13-307 with criminal negligence discharge a firearm within a limits of a municipality.
UNLESS

#3. to lawfully take game, then game and fish rules apply and the municipality can have more restrictive rules
#8. More than 1 mile from any occupied structure.

OR

ARS 17-309 A4 can’t discharge a firearm while taking game within a ¼ mile of Occupied farmhouse or residence, without the owner’s permission.

These are easy to look up to read the entire text.

Right. G&F has no authority in this matter except relating to taking game.
