I notice you're all assuming that everyone's firing into the air. I know quite a few people that rang in the new year by firing into a sand bucket or a (safe) backstop.
And of course you just know that consumption of drugs and or alcohol are involved.
When our police chief was on the local news condemning this
practice one of our African American city council members
responded that it was cultural practice and he saw no reason
to heed the police chiefs warning.
Most of these rounds aren't fired at a perfect 90 degree angle from the earth.
Well I live in the country and I shot into a berm.And I don't care who likes it, or not.
I can shoot the shotgun and not hit any houses as the nearest one is over 700 feet away over a hill. Yippeeee, yahooooo. Happy New year. No I am not drunk!
I read about this this morning. I wonder what the chances are that somebody will be charged with the shooting.
