How far will a .22 or .25 pistol sound in the woods at night?

I feel like relieveing some stress, but all the woods around here are considered 'government property'. But we know some trails that go a good 4 or 5 miles deep into thick woods. If we go out there at night and bust some rounds, is there a chance the cops or game warden could hear it?

No, it's legal, cops will just pat you on the back for exercising your American right to shoot guns wherever you please.

im sure you would be fine as long as you are deep in the woods.
you should go to a shooting range.

Depends, are you shooting .22 short or .22 mag? Mag will be pretty fucking loud. If you really want something to shoot around in your yard or something get a p22 with a suppressor and shoot 22 short.

Its just a regular .22 LR, and silencers/supressors are very illegal. What if we're drunk when we get caught?

i dunno where you live, but people are probably going to think you're poaching, and may do something.

Dunno, I stole it a few years back. Looks like one of the puppets from the Puppet Master movies.

Suppressors aren't illegal. You just need a license. Why do you think that some guns come threaded?

Well, find a shooting range. The best ones to go to are the ones run by parks and such. If nobody else is there you can fuck around and put up some silhouettes and rush them with your ak-47 or dual pistols. Good fun.

The only shooting range we have around here is an indoor shooting range, and they pretty much only allow pistols. Rifles and shotguns cost a buck a round to shoot, and you can only shoot at fucking paper. I enjoy shooting bottles and washing machines or refrigerators that people dump out in the woods.

There has to be a big national forest around you that allows shooting. I know there quite a few near me in Georgia.

Around here it's legal to shoot 1 mile away from a resedential area, my buddy shoots his AR-15 almost every weekend and I can hear it from my house when I'm not out with him. I can't believe the amount of money he spends in ammo for "practice". As far as a .22 shit you prolly couldn't hear that more than a quarter mile in dense woods in the middle of the night.

A .22lr won't carry sound too far. It's a very low powder load coupled with about a 30-40grain bullet travelling a little over 1000fps.
I use a .17HMR for plinking, which is pretty much a .22 magnum casing necked down to .17 with a 17-20grain bullet that travels about 2500-2800fps. The sonic crack is about the only audiable noise from a distance and it's so light that it doesnt carry very far at all.
I ran through 100 rounds of Hornady V-max .17HMR about 100ft from my aunts house, just over a slight hill and no one could hear it and it has a MUCH louder crack than a .22lr.

Any lower velocity .22 load would be hard to hear from more than a half a mile.
I love TN. I literally shoot off my back porch. We've only had the police called out once, about 10 years back my dad handed out guns to myself and several of my freinds (I could see that introduction going a lot more interesting places than it actually will), something like an assorted 15 pistols, shotguns and rifles divided amongst 11 people ages 12-41. We then made a pile of soda cans. We wanted to reenact the opening scene from Young Guns (1 or 2, can't remember) and by god did we blow the shit out of the pile of cans. Apparently, one of out neighbors called the police because they were afraid that a serious gun battle had broken out at our house. The responding officer, upon acertaining the situation, giggled like a school girl and unloaded a magazine from his Glock in the next round.
