Why the police? It’s not against the law to kill your TV

You're kidding, right? I'm a pretty big gun nut and a serious libertarian, but I'm not going to defend a drunk guy randomly discharging his firearm inside his house. Believe me, that's one call police would have been just as happy to pass on.

He hit what he was aiming at. That isn't random, and he couldn't have been very drunk.

Keep in mind he was charged with "criminal use of a firearm" whatever the hell that means. What was criminal? Shooting in your house? (no more indoor ranges) Shooting a TV? (is this a new part of the "fairness doctrine"?) It all seems a little silly to me. He didn't hurt anything but a TV, let the man alone.
