IMPD: Don't celebrate 2012's arrival with gunfire

While I'm not quite sure on the physics mentioned in the article, I find this to be sound advice regardless of what you are celebrating or the bullet dynamics.

It is really mind blowing that people would recklessly fire off shots because it is new year.

 

[Stainer]

I would appreciate all of you who live on the east side abiding by this. It would make my night go a little smoother. Always remember, what goes up, comes down. I've seen bullets stuck in people's ceilings right above where their children sleep. Scary to think about.

 

[Brandon]

Maybe the police should remind people not to rob others, kill others and so on.... It is against the law as well.

 

[Jack Burton]

In the Philippines the National Chief of Police issued a reminder to the police officers across the country not to celebrate with firing their guns into the air.

i dont think the east siders that are on ingo will be the ones you got to worry about. spent last year at my father in laws at 38th and mitt. and it sounded like chineese new year in china town.

firing a gun off at midnight is just as normal as eating corned beef.... i dont get why everybody has their panties in a bunch.

I have fired off a mag of 556 on the east side of indy for years and as far as i know the bullets just never came back down.

 

[jbombelli]

What if you fire into the ground instead of the air?

can you teach me how to bump-fire up into the air without laying down????

Now that would be very new yearsy of you would it?

 

[gunman41mag]

What goes up must come down

 

[Blackduck21]

I recommend a canon which shoots 10ga blanks.

 

[Thumper]

I recommend going to bed before midnight.

 

[goinggreyfast]

Dang! I was going to do the Tannerite thing too!!!

Goinggreyfast....Hey I like that idea. Got some here. Anyway I will be launching some no. 8 into the atmosphere along with all the other neighbors on the ridge. It's kind of a yearly custom around here.

Had some new neighbors move in from Carmel. Good folk just not accustomed to country living. Introduced myself to them when they were looking at the property. She said she heard a lot of gun shots and wanted to know if it was safe down here. My answer was, "It's a way of life, get used to. Nobody is going to be shooting at your house." That satisfied her. Hope to get them involved in shooting. Happy New Year guys.

Yeah, we live in Martinsville. No shooting for us.

Really?

Stick around guns more and you will be shocked at how reckless people can be. Didn't you see the thread about the property owner who allegedly shot the kid because he thought the kid was a coyote attack?

 

[mpitcock]

What if you fire into the ground instead of the air?

Then we would start hearing the ambulance calls....hey - another banger shot himself in the foot!
