Answer:
To stop an outdoor shooting range in a residential area, you may seek injunctive relief, which is a court order requiring action or inaction regarding a specific issue. To obtain a preliminary injunction, you must demonstrate:
- A strong likelihood of success on the merits of your case;
- That you would suffer irreparable harm without the injunction;
- That the injunction wouldn't cause substantial harm to others;
- That the public interest would be served by granting the injunction.
Other strategies for addressing noise from neighbors include:
- Contacting the police or sheriff's office to file a complaint;
- Requesting the owner to resolve the issue;
- Filing a lawsuit for breach of warranty of habitability, peaceful enjoyment, infliction of emotional distress, nuisance, or harassment;
- Discussing the matter with a councilperson to propose a local noise ordinance.
