So, gunshots in a residential area next to a highway = no big deal?
I sure as hell wasn't about to call the cops, but it did put me on my toes...especially at 3am
If you live near 495 in Norton, then you know there are a lot of woods there. Probably folks out jacking deer.
I am glad I live in a neighborhood where if I hear gunshots, my first thought is: That muth...he has a range in his yard and didn't even invite me!
YMMV
Going on right now 10am. and has been on since about 9:45am. sounds like it's coming from somewhere northern part of Norton and Taunton line. not just isolated hunting/shoots but rather rapid fire of more than two rifles. To my knowledge there is no ranges in this part of Norton or Taunton, but that's exactly what it sounds like - multiple people firing rifles, heard from the distance.
any knowledge of what might be going on, anyone?
A good amount of folks send rounds down range in various pits in rocky woods, won't get me to admit to it though
not really big deal for me.
just was curious what's going on. in my 5 years living here never heard this much gunfire, aside from occasional hunting bangs here in there in the woods.
in case there was something going oni didn't know about and could benefit from
24 year resident ..... Easton rod and gun is literally on the line also 2 seconds from Taunton and people shoot at the turkey farm off toad island road and patlena area across winnacunit
Live off Burt and Glebe - Was out this weekend with the neighbors for a comparison between a S&W air weight and a 19-3. A couple of CCI quiets from the Mark II thrown in for good measure.
This area has quite a bit of recoil happening as a norm so I don't really notice anymore.
Need to get cutting trees so I can clear the 100 yrd range in the back - building the backstop will be an adventure though. Anyone have access to heavy equipment and a 1000 yards of fill for free range time?

I work in the Taunton industrial park. I hear those shots every week. I've been told that it is police, but I haven't found where. From where I am, it sounds like towards 495, over beyond he weather bureau. About a month ago, it sounded like three or four shooters, rapid fire.
I'll ask around, maybe security knows (one of the guys lives local).
That is exactly where I was thinking it was coming from. On some Saturdays it sounds like either many, many, shooters or full auto fire... Maybe both... LOL
If you go down Miles Standish Blvd. away from Holiday Inn and take a right on Hill Street (Motion Concepts & Rens Welding building on corner). Just before the the fork in road of Crane St & Hill St., on your right, you should see the animal shelter set back from the road.
I believe that is where previous post said LEO range is behind the shelter. Mapquest satellite view shows a small sand bank behind the building, straight back from the driveway in.

Drove by it today. From the street you can see a small sand bank behind the shelter to the right. There is a big pipe type gate across where you would drive in. Must be where Norton PD does practice.
