Dropping things out of airplanes, or off bridges, or from tall buildings, is called 'Bombing'. And the Gummint takes a dim view. No sensayuma, these people.

All Very Humorous, but Beware! In Canada....leaving a cartridge in your vehicle is a Federal Offense! It's Unsafe Storage! (Pardon all the capitalized words, it's just the way They think) The man who owns the shell, as well as the man who owns the car, can be charged; and (in Ontario/Quebec...

Living in Southern Ontario, I've many times seen what happens when a shooting/hunting/gun enthusiast finally realizes his dream, 'to open a shop of my own'. First, hobbies don't make very good professions, and if you have to make the rent every month, the fun goes out pretty fast. The pressure...
