Kind of Stupid question here.

cor4ever · Nov 24, 2014

Do you guys know if it is illegal to clean your firearms in your backyard? I live in Montgomery County (Rockville) and would like to clean my rifles outside (more ventilation) instead of the basement where the fumes of the solvents spread all over the house.

I know the possibility exist of neighbors calling the cops on me but as long as it’s legal I have nothing to worry about, am I correct?

Thank you for your time.

I don't see how it would be illegal, even in MoCo. Having said that, why would you want your neighbors to see your guns. I personally don't even like carrying rifle cases from house to truck. How's about cleaning your guns before leaving the range?

Legal yes, but there is the potential to be annoyed.

If you are really worried about it, then just clean individual parts outside.

Not illegal.

Since it's MoCo, expect the hysterical nosy neighbors to SWAT you.

I did up to 10 years ago in Montg'y but I also had a privacy fence. Not illegal but neighbors in Montg'y tend to be whiny bitches.

Haters gonna hate.

**** 'em. Let 'em whine.

That would only make me want to clean them all outside!

Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I will give it a try to see what happens. I do have a patio umbrella that can use to block the neighbors from seeing me, I think I will use that just to be on the safe side.

My son and I always clean the guns out on the deck and it's way up high so all the neighbors can see. You know everybody as been real polite lately!

Hopefully some of them are future gun owners.

A triple negative is still negative.

Clean them outside in the buff to scare off the neighbors from watching.
