When a gun is fired "into the air", the projectile climbs to several thousand feet to where gravity overcomes momentum. At that point, said projectile starts back towards earth, gathering speed as it does so.
By the time it reaches the ground it's going about 75% of the speed at which it left the gun's muzzle. Who knows what it will hit? Certainly the dumb-butt who fired "harmlessly" into the air didn't understand the dynamics involved, but he'd be responsible for whatever mayhem the bullet caused.
Firing into the air is NOT!!! harmless.
Agreed, it takes away your advantage, shows you are NOT serious, willing to waste and do stupid things. only one reason to fire. If you cannot get that concept, no business being in the business of being armed.
Dumb@$, both of them. Disgraceful. Fire AND community service with the convicts. Then maybe others will take their responsibility seriously
