Lacius Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It is usually illegal to fire bullets into the air (like at the moon) in densely populated areas (915.6/sq mi in Prescott) because bullets have the habit of coming back down, sometimes miles away, and causing injury and/or death.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebratory_gunfire#Falling-bullet_injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airstream_Bill Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) and i bet he gets to keep his guns and his alcoholHe may be fined but that will be all. In Arizona it is not the ALCOHOL it is the DRUGS. He is probably a transplant for somewhere else in the US. In Arizona anyone 21 years of age or older can carry a pistol as long as he or she has a Valid Drivers License from Arizona. On can wear it downtown anywhere. If one walks into a bank with it he or she has to hang it up and pick it up on their way out. You do not see people wearing them very often in the Cities but in the smaller towns it is a Common site to see someone wearing a pistol. Lot of Rattle Snakes between the towns in the Desert. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/17/arizona-gun-law-concealed_n_541445.html Edited June 24, 2014 by Airstream_Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dMog Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I bet they give him 5-10 years on some trumped up never heard of law because they love keeping people locked up while letting the true criminal scum of the Earth walk free.agreed...but also the bigger picture here is that guy for what ever reason who sees it ok to shoot at the moon has some issues he needs to take care of...and he does not deserve to go to jail either...but he needs some consequence for his actions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
