Johnson County? Douglas county?

Likewise.

Is there any kind of regulations on the type of backstop that is needed?

My backstop is 7 railroad ties high and 5 ties deep. I have been shooting into it or yrs and have yet to hit the 4th tie in. I am talking 1000's of rounds of centerfire rifle plus 1000's of rounds from pistol and rimfire

Not to my knowledge.

Had/have a single guy that lives a little over a mile down the road from me. He and a buddy for a while were setting up a bench in the single guys back lawn to play with their 308's. Using a thin hedgerow as a backstop. They were stapling their targets on cardboard boxes and blasting away over flat ground, real flat ground. A fella about a half mile or so away was mowing his back lawn and caught one in the guts. Sherriffs, state troopers, fire dept, the whole nine yards. Cops took a while to get to the guy because the yoyo's kept shooting. Not much happened to the shooters other than appearance tickets for shooting less than 500 feet of an occupied building without permission. I think they also lost their rifles. The guy that got shot survived and DID NOT press charges. Funny thing is the shooters house nearly burned down about a year later. Karma?

Civil suit should have been initiated. You are responsible for your bullets....after they are fired and the damage they do.

As a GW, I responded to a few of these type calls. I always told the shooters that they're likely to get sued for any damages their bullets do. I also told the complainant that if they incur damage...go hire a lawyer. Never had to respond to same place twice.
