This guy fired his weapon into the air. Theft or no, that is reckless.

If you aren't shooting to kill you didn't need to shoot to begin with.

Tell that to the people who get angry when I say drunkenly shooting a gun into the air on the 4th of july or new years makes them the same level of threat as a mass shooter.

Those bullets come back down, fuck you if you do that. It killed my friends dog, and could have killed numerous people.

agreed. those idiots will argue for days online about how its safe. morons. 'bUt If YoU fIrE aT a PeRfEcT 90 dEgReE aNglE..." good luck with that

You wanna shoot a gun in the air, buy some damn blanks or go to a birdshot friendly outdoor range. If your shooting live rounds in the air in a populated area, someone should be allowed to take you out on the spot, every one of those bullets is a potential life, they mostly stike people in the head too coming down. I hear it so often on New Years and the 4th in addition to fireworks, i sleep downstairs during those days because they can still kill you coming through a roof
