Hold muh beer for the New Year!
DANG!
In the hinterlands of red southcentral Pennsylvania flyover country the five minutes before 12:00 AM New Year’s Eve and thirty minutes after will sound like a Civil War reenactment.
Music to my ears!
So ... a guy could run around lighting M80’s in front of liberals’ houses and they would get a visit by the police the next day? Hmmm...
So the moral to the story is always walk down to the neighbors house no one likes and pop off a few rounds.
The lead will be flying as usual in San Antonio, where Mexicans consider shooting into the air a right. So what if the bullet comes down and kills a chid watching fireworks, as has happened. That’s just fate.
Pitt seems to be an intellectual sinkhole.
Dozens?
Pittsburgh natives must be low on ammo or something. Years back, in "poor" neighborhoods in Ft. Wayne, IN, it was like a war had started. The most interesting part was hearing all the lead come back down through the trees, hitting roofs, etc. It was a bit risky to be out observing on my Grandpa's roofed front porch, I suppose, but we did it anyway. (Foolishness of youth?)
This claim is a bunch of crap.
Here in Carnegie, people bang pots and pans to ring in the New Year.
In this area and others where all the lots are acreage some folks of all ethnicities have family members who fire a few shots into the air at midnight-but this is BFE and far from the city-no crowds, no traffic, etc no danger of hitting anyone and little danger of hitting livestock-but fireworks are more common-safer and cheaper than wasting ammo and much prettier to look at...
Yes. What goes up must come down. Besides, populated areas, it’s too much noise at midnight.
This makes as much sense as publicizing off-limits bars overseas, as the Navy does. Tell people what they can’t do and they’re more likely to do it.
Jeeze yinz are stupid!
The jokes on them. I use a suppressor!
Favorite pastime of 75% of the population of South Georgia come New Years . It ain’t the rednecks, in case you are wondering. Even had a dumb sheriff’s deputy get caught using his service weapon to celebrate one year. Needless to say he lost that job, especially since he was with his cousin the convicted felon.
Most places with dense populations frown on it- my condo assn won’t let me see if I can shoot at the right angle to get some to drop in the pool...
This is directed at the white supremacists not the drug dealing gangbangers and illegal invader drug gangs, feel free to celebrate

If you don’t see an officer that evening, you might still get a knock on the door in the days that follow, he added, because ShotSpotter can often pin down the address from which a gun was fired.
So, they admit they get false positives. Would bet that a car backfiring would do the same. Yet, they are going to ticket people without any other evidence. Sounds like typical revenue enhancement efforts by the city tax collectors in blue.
One would think this kind of crap would be ridiculously easy to fight in court.
