    Celebratory Gunfire

    Serious quaestion - How much of a problem is celebratory gunfire on holidays in your area?

    Obviously it's enough of an issue here the for the PD to create PSA messages on the subject.

    What goes up must go down.

    North GA, nil. I hear neighbors target practice often but not night celebratory. It was a problem in San Antonio when I lived there but not where I lived.

    Waaaay out west.
    I've never heard celebratory gunfire in any of the places I have lived, ever. Some of those places were extremely small communities as well. The culture and local laws have a very large part to play in this type of behaviour I guess.

    It's common to hear gunshots during the day as many folks in the area shoot on and around their property.

    Rarely, if ever hear any celebratory gunfire.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Unless you live on the West or South Side of Chicago,where you're glad the bullets are going up for a change instead of sideways.

    I knew one guy who liked to do that, but he was smart enough to shoot into soil.

    So bad where I used to work the cops would gather in a parking garage or underpasses for New Years and other times. In Air Support we would pull the helicopter into the hanger well before midnight on New Years to avoid falling debris in the dog house or damaging the rotor blades. Where I live now, it is noticeable, but not as bad as where I was in SoCal.

    Not an issue here in greater Clearwater FL, as far as I'm aware.
