But who did the damage? And when was it really done?
That idiot neighbor could do the damage himself, go out later, then come home and call the police.
And if they cannot prove that the damage came from TX OMFS, then they are going to write a report, go back to their duties, and not think about the issue again. Unless you can prove that the damage such as a ricochet came from TX OMFS, there is no case, and the police are unlikely to waste too much of their time on something like this unless something major happened like someone was actually hit.
The law has checks and balances, the main one being that there is a presumption of innocence until it is proven that someone actually committed a crime. Calling 911 does not grant you the full trust of law enforcement. They deal with this shit on a daily basis. They know when they're being lied to or if something smells fishy.
The best thing TX OMFS could do is install the cameras (preferably ones that keeps at least a few days worth of footage), point a few at his range, and a few at his neighbor's property, and make a report about the possible harassment going on. For the most part, that will help cover his ass.
Whether he wants to spend the money to build a bunker just to appease this neighbor is up to him. No, he absolutely shouldn't have to, but doing so would have the benefit of making the neighbor's claims even more unbelievable, as well as showing that he is going above and beyond any requirements to make his shooting activities safe.
