What Hugh is implying I think - is unless you check - you don't know. I've known of TWO instances of people on private property without notification to owner that ended up without the shooters knowledge in the general direction of the gun fire. Fortunately in one case the shooter was shooting into a steel angled back stop that sent any rebound back into the ground. Some kids were out in the woods behind it doing drugs out of sight.
The other case, the trespassers were police who didn't think they needed to ask permission/notify property owner. Apparently some one stepped out side to de-stress from a hard day and fire off a few rounds.
In both cases, no one was hit, and in the first case, there was no likely hood of the downrange bozo's getting hit. But still, unless you've checked - you don't know.
Lots of kids these days are not brought up to respect property and property lines, or even fences.
