Bucks County Pa. township sticks to its guns, rejects major firearms restrictions

Life is all about demographics.

A lot of this is happening in more Upstate counties. From what I hear it's happening quite a bit in Columbia County. A lot of New York City people are doing exactly that, buying farm houses and such and then they are trying to convert the Upstate way of life to fit with their City values. It's a bunch of horseshit.

I have mentioned this here before. There is a piece of private property that I have been shooting on for 18 years now.
It's rural, some farm houses, some barns, some people, lots of cows.

A family from a suburb of Buffalo bought the house nearest to my shooting spot. They called LE on me twice right after they moved in. On both encounters the officers said that I am breaking no laws, my back stop is good,
I am shooting in a safe direction... I already knew all of that.

Both times the officers went to the complaintents house and told them no that laws are being broken.
At the time this happened I have been shooting at that spot for 16 years. Up until then, this sort of thing NEVER happened before.

I was also told that they complained about the liquid manure being spread on the farm fields near their new home.
They must not like the fresh air either... They should of just stayed in the suburbs if they do not like the sound of gun shots and the smell of dairy farms. They must have thought that the locals, some that have been there for generations, would change their way of life just for them.

Citidiots. There's a reason I live in the country.

It's like the city people who move next to a local stock car track or range that has been there for decades.
And then complain about the noise and try to get it shut down. Both have happened in my area.

Neither the stock car track or the range were forced to shut down. But the track had to end the racing program
earlier at night. If the race program is running long because of a lot of yellow flags or whatever. Now they have to shut the track down before the nights events are finished.

Manure sometimes gets spread on the field next to my house. I just close the windows for a while and get on with life.
It's all part of living in farm country and I wouldn't have it any other way. I just wish the city people would stay away.

This is also happening in my hometown where @Sheepdog 1 training facility/range is near the old Catskill game farm. There's some New York City types that moved into the area and now they're trying to shut the range down.

Just like lefties fleeing CA and NY for red states.

"wow, the place we live is kinda crap, but those conservatives have built a nice place, lets move there then do everything we can to turn it into the place we left...."

Its intentional, at least in part.

Good for the residents of PA! City people moving to rural areas because they become inspired by Home and Garden TV. So they buy a farm to fix a barn and start a vegetable garden. Then they have the nerve to try and change the community to fit their fantasy land version of country life. What a bunch of jokers.

the supervisors agreed to only one provision, which was allowing shooting between 7 a.m. and dusk.

FK them shittyslickers ..

Three years ago a young couple moved into the Amish farm nearest us......about 1/2 mile away.
They are not Amosh and spent alot of money making the house more "livable", without ruining the charm of the Amish craftsmanship.
The house already had running water but they had to install electricity.
Anyways,
They had been there about a year when one day while a friend and I were shooting, here comes the couple down our driveway on their beach cruiser bicycles.
My first thought was, "oh boy, here we go".
They were friendly and introduced themselves to me and my GF.
The conversation soon turned to guns.
The guy was looking at our table of several long guns and several handguns.
He says, " ive never shot a gun.....are you willing to show me the ropes if I buy one?"
Long story longer, the next week I picked him up and we went to the LGS.
After an HOUR AND A HALF he decided on a Mossberg 12 gauge combo, a Ruger 10/22 AND a Savage XP Hunter in 308.
We set up a 50 yard range at his house and now I hear more shots coming from their house than we shoot at ours.
Last year he took his hunting course and got a 4 point his first year hunting.
He shoots squirrels by the handful.
These people are as "hipster" as it gets but hunting for food was a big part of their hipster, down on the farm, plan.
We gave them a bunch of vegetable starter plants this last spring and cut them a half acre plot.
They are both planning on getting their pistol permits. Last week I noticed a repeal the SafeAct sign in their yard......I think I might have over done it.

I grew up in Dutchess County and it was the same! I remember Dad bitchin about people moving in the area back in 60-70s & early 80s and complaining about small agriculture and long standing small industry in the neighborhood.

not yet .. when you get them into reloading .. maybe then LOL ..

A friend of mine lives in Brooklyn and has a place in Livingston Manor but does not have the typical NYC state of mind. He is a hunter and sport shooter and is anti cuomo and is a republican. His property backs up to many acres of state land where we shoot and hunt quite often. We can walk a mile down a road to a hunting spot with rifles slung on our backs and nobody looks twice at us. Everytime I am up there, no matter what time of year it is, we hear gunshots every few minutes in the distance.

I see this liberal NYC cancer slowly making its way to Livingston. This past summer when we went into the village of Livingston Manor, there was nothing but SUV's from Mercedes, BMW and Volvo parked in the village and their liberal millennial owners walking around like it was a fashion show. I can see the complaints coming in soon about the ATV's and the gunshots. Luckily my friends place is so far out of the way that the chances of any of the liberals moving close to him are very low.

Liberal scum absolutely must stay in their designated liberal scum holding areas. Or if that is too difficult they should do the rest of us a big favor and kill themselves.
