If the town doesn't want you to shoot, they'll figure out a way to stop you. In my case the police and building depts. said yes but the conservation dept. said I had to prove that the lead from bullets would not pollute the ground water now or in the future. How can anyone prove what will happen in the future?

Backwards. He should just start shooting and let the ConCom find a legal way to try and stop him. The activity is legal. Asking permission was the mistake.

hey! I’m in milford MA, and my fathers friend owns a chunk of land in upton that we’ve been shooting .22s on.
Ma law says that you can shoot 500 feet away from another “dwelling”. I’m not sure about city stuff, I haven’t found anything on their website that pertains to that sort of thing, only firearms licensing.
