Discharging a firearm in a city is usually illegal because bullets tend to go through things and houses are pretty close together.

Exceptions are of course made for properly-built gun ranges and self defense, but I don’t think shooting your TV qualifies as a necessary use of a firearm, even if Helen Thomas was on and it was a knee-jerk reaction to keep you from pulling your eyes out.

I missed the "necessary use of a firearm" clause in the 2nd amendment. I also missed, apparently, that he damaged anything other then a TV, and that he lived in a city.

Barring any damage done to anything other then the TV I don't think he should have been arrested.
