Varrieur fired seven shots that traveled 21 feet to a target that had three cans inside a box and a picture of a zombie holding a screaming woman.<br /><br />“All right, one dead can,” said Varrieur, 57.<br /><br />It has been a month since the friends first fired their guns in this makeshift shooting area — surrounded by a chain-link fence, a shiny RV and the canal. The shots sent shockwaves through the neighborhood.<br /><br />It became even scarier once the neighbors learned that on Varrieur’s side was a state law on the books since 1987. Varrieur said most gun owners like himself had just assumed they couldn’t shoot in residential neighborhoods.</blockquote><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iWCk-j7QlA4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Read the rest of this very interesting article<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/01/26/3895027/big-pine-key-homeowner-has-gun.html"> here</a>.<br /><br /><br />H/T to <a href="http://www.fark.com/">FARK</a> for the link.<br /><br />
