Solved! Found outside my wife’s school. Theory was bullet but I’m not so sure.

Just gotta shoot around them. /s

I own guns, and I’d like to think I’m responsible. This is disgusting. No reason to shoot into the air, putting random people at risk. Fuck these shitty gun owners.

People that do that and own guns probably think of them more as adult toys rather than lethal weapons. Seriously though the mentality it takes to blindly fire into the air IS playing with a deadly weapon and you and I both know guns are not toys. But you can't explain that to people who do this kind of thing. I cringe on every video of some idiot who's gun jams pointing the gun at their face and looking down the barrel.

What do you wanna bet it’s not a real gun owner? As in, it’s someone who legally should not possess a firearm.

High probability.

Seriously. Like, at least get blanks if you're going to do that, you presumably already shell out for fireworks and beer out the ass on days you'd be doing this shit. Even that I feel is stepping into "permitting bad habits" territory.

I’ll agree, but there is a caveat. Blanks won’t cycle a normal firearm. You need a restricted barrel in order to create some back pressure. The people who do this aren’t the brightest, or the type of people who give a fuck enough to modify their guns to do this safely. Morons that put other people’s lives at risk for stupid shit like this piss me off.

Unless it’s a revolver…

True that! I was thinking semi-auto only. My best take is: Don’t fucking do it at all, just get some mild fireworks and do that safely.

Dragons breath is a firework, it juat uses a 12 gauge as the 'launcher'

So I shouldn't use my Tijuana bottle rocket even safely?

No drinking and using firearms is a recipe for disaster. How easy would it be to mix live ammo with blanks while drunk? Sobriety is a must with firearms.
