Two men were rightfully arrested for their “target practice”. Basically, they were shooting at paper targets without a proper backstop, and the bullets were hitting homes over 500 yards away.
Seems like a good time to remind people what “safe direction” means.
Folks, when you’re engaged in target practice or just plinking because it’s fun, you MUST consider where your bullets will come to rest, to ensure they do so in a safe and complete manner, and that no unwanted destruction happens between the muzzle and that point of rest. This is paramount, else you are being unsafe with a gun.
Same thing for shooting in the air. What goes up must come down.
