Do you or people in your neighborhood fire weapons on new years eve? *UPDATED W/THIS YEARS GUNPLAY!!*

[RedPickle]

Nope.

 

[iamme]

reminds me of the movie, The Mexican. people were firing into the air, then the bullets started to hit the ground and someone died

 

[Vic]

Guns? No.

But I will be blowing off some mortars and other fireworks tonight

Oh yes, I have a few choice fireworks ready for tonight. Cant wait!

Not around my house but if you do live around people who do, I suggest you stay inside. Bullets coming down fall at the same rate they left the gun. You can get really injured if you get hit with a bullet that falls after getting shot into the air.

Not really. You have things called air resistance, terminal velocity, etc. The bullet 99.9% of the time isn't going to hurt you at all.

1. No we don't fire our guns into the air
2. No we don't pour out our 40's for our dead homies
3. We don't have bars on our windows

Sounds like you live in a pretty interesting neighborhood though!

This must be the 0.1% that it can.

There are definitely a bunch of morons here in Atlanta. Its beginning to sound like a war zone.

:clock:

 

[Nocturnal]

I hear gun shots going on around my house. Possibly neighbors. I hope the bullets don't rain back down and hit me in the head or any of my family members in the head.

 

[Walleye]

jesus, i thought i was in san diego.. you know.. civilization?


so far i've heard 2 gunshots. wth is wrong with people that makes them want to fire guns into the air?

i dont mind paper targets, but why the air?

 

[Kaervak]

Nope. The few people that do own a gun around here aren't retards. Imagine that, responsible gun owners, amazing.

 

[Amused]

Nope. None here. I've heard fireworks go off, and I bet what most people here are thinking is gunshots are really fireworks.
