Anyway, I'm wondering what the longest range of a gun that a typical
person might have - although I guess they aren't typical people since
they used to be cops, which is part of why they never get in trouble
for their shooting. Anybody have an idea?


Ask about the local laws. IMHO since they used to be cops they might think
the laws do not apply till you point them out. Cops can *look the other way*
when their friends do inappropriate behavior.

They could be very conscientious and be shooting at targets backed up by
sand bags, and shooting into a barrier. You have to see what and why they
are shooting before wondering about the ranges of the shots, which could be
up to 1700ft or more depending on caliber.
