    Out here by the lake!
    Never once did I have leftover fireworks in my life. Why can't these nimrobs shoot all that off when it was meant to be shot off? Its time for gunfire to start here where I live. Wonder if HPD is still hiding in parking decks & underpasses?

    There's waaaay too much gunfire happening in South D, and sounds like a woman died over your way in Houston.

    Fireworks arent the problem. They usually self regulate stupid.

    Guns being fired into the air usually hurt others.

    Agreed, people are so careless. The photos below are from my son in law... a windshield he had to fix today at work (customer in Mesquite)... What if that projectile instead encountered a person's head? A child even?!!! Stupid and careless!

    The red primer on the truck is where probably a 22lr hit my hood two New Years ago and the 9mm in my hand is from yesterday - found it next to a neighbor’s hangar and wondering if any of the other hangars have holes in their roofs.

    That's pretty decent expansion for terminal velocity. I would assume it was fired in a more horizontal plane.

    Bullets fired straight up can still kill but the usually only reach about 350fps max on the way down depending on weight and how it falls.

    Bullets fired in a flater ark will maintain a much higher speed till they hit something.
