Firing live rounds into the air is sooooooo "raghead"! (We didn't need the Brady bunch to tell us that it is a bad idea...)
Better yet, use blanks or shotgun shells with wadding only. Still a good idea to fire at a safe backstop
It is a long-standing tradition in our family to fire a number of shots equal to the last digit of the New Year (five, this time...) right at midnight. However, we use 12-Ga. "Bird Bombs":

Bird Bombs (See "All Purpose Ammo")
"Blasts an M-80 type projectile between 50 & 100 yards. Upon detonation, you will see a BRILLIANT white light with a THUNDEROUS REPORT!"

(BTW, when fired several feet above them, trespassers find these a powerful incentive to depart the premises -- post haste!)
The M600P is a hand held device which can positively detect anomalies packed in a scanned item, etc (including the detection of contraband such as drugs, explosives, weapons, currency and much more). This is a fast and effective way to detect contraband concealed in objects such as tires, cargo, doors, walls and any other object or substance that may contain contraband.
