Anyone know the history on how/why Frederick and Cecil counties have the 50 yard standoff distance from an occupied dwelling vs the rest of the state being 150?

Undecided on a great many things
The Frederick Sportsmen's Council got this pushed through and I never even knew Cecil followed. After the Failures trying for Sunday Hunting most hunting groups found the best way to pass legislation was county by county as you can't get every county to agree in Annapolis.
You could try it yourself, but it would help if you organized the gun/sportsmen's clubs in your county to give you more pull in getting it accomplished. Garrett, Allegheny, Washington, Frederick and Carroll counties have this setup and a larger Federation they are all part of. They just got Sunday hunting for all Game pushed through except Waterfowl in Garrett, Allegheny and Washington counties. It's a lot of work, but it yields a lot of power.

Is this a Maryland statute? If so, guessing that the Frederick and Cecil county delegates/senators pushed for the exception for their counties before they agreed to vote in favor of the law.
Hunting only.
I should correct myself before anyone gets worked up - its Frederick and Carroll (not Cecil) counties that have the 50 yard standoff.

When All Else Fails.
If I'm not mistaken, the 150 is for hunting only. Which is voided if you have written permission from the dwelling owner.
Thanks ArcheryRob -
I didn't know if it was some ancient holdover. It makes a lot of sense for the suburban deer reduction issue, but not much sense if your only perspective of hunting is a suburbanite 'someone's gonna shoot my kitty' world view. I was wondering because Ed Reilly (state senator from Anne Arundel County) seems to have a pro-hunt perspective given recent legislation he sponsored regarding sunday hunting.
Wouldn't try to do it myself, but might be willing to join the cause if there were some actual movement behind it from clubs, etc..

Hi iH8DemLibz -
Yes - permission from the dwelling owner gets you around it, but in my case, even on three acres (which borders 60), I'd need permission from 6-7 nearby houses to hunt it.

You really need to look at local ordinances for this sort of stuff.
I know Montgomery County had, and probably still has, a local ordinance regarding the discharge of a bow, regardless of whether it is in a hunting situation or not. Here is a thread on here that confirms it, along with some other decent information:

Actual list of Montgomery County ordinances:

Harford County (seems pretty simple):

Found some internet chatter about a proposed local ordinance in Carroll County regarding this matter, but was unable to find the actual ordinance.
