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.
Someone failed physics class. :S
Well there you have it, proof that firing you gun into the air is safe, and of no concern to anyone even an already dead pig will not be harmed by such an action…
Every alcoholic should be trained in this method of firearm use because of it having been proven as a safe method of discharging your weapon and proving your manhood at the same time…
Is there any wonder other people wonder…
alcohol and firearms is fine as long as you passed physics class… good grief Charley Brown
