A bad idea to shoot your weapon without knowing where the bullet will impact.
Just remember to follow the safety rules and don’t shoot them up in the air like all the idiots do around here...
Blank cartridges are your friend......
I have some excellent Hollywood “5in1” blanks, so called because they will fit and fire in: .44Mag, .44Special, .45 Colt, .44-40, and .38-40. No wadding, and louder than a live round!
Anyone know where a fella can safely fire from a Tiger tank?
I’m thinking some good ol’ fashioned Black Powder in the Muzzle Loader would be Historically correct;)
Every local gun range in a 25 miles radius from my home is booked solid through the weekend. Might have to make a trip out on the boat this weekend.
There’s gonna be plenty of firearms action at my family’s 4th- we always do a bunch of shooting before it gets dark. This year, I invested in some .22 sized Tannerite to spice things up. I’m also trotting out my 1869 Swiss Vetterli for the first time (the most advanced military weapon of it’s day!). After dark, it’ll be lots of fireworks!
Celebrating Independence Day by shooting live ammunition out of battle rifles and pistols has been a tradition at our home for more than 20 years.
For those of you concerned about safety issues, we aim our weapons from our deck down into the ground, or into a stump.
For years I would save the target, usually an old box, date it and save it as memorabilia for a great time shooting with my brothers and later my sons.
For those of you who live in area where you feel you can safely and legally expend a few rounds shooting your weapons, I highly recommend it.
Happy Fourth to all of you!
“But, I don’t know a single gun owner who doesn’t know when and where he/she can safely fire their weapons. “
You obviously don’t live in an urban zip code with a high percentage of uneducated people.
I would have said “hood” but that’s racist.
