I'm hoping to test fire my AR at my grandmothers house in Fayetteville. Her house is outside the city limits and she is on a couple acres. Behind her lot is a heavily wooded area and its quite large. What restrictions are there when it comes to shooting on private land?

If you're out in the boonies like that and your neighbors dont mind I'd say there are no restrictions, but hasselhoff's answer is better than mine
