Thank God, Josh and his friends weren't hurt or killed. <br /><br />I wasn't living here in 1999, but after a real tragedy Phoenix enacted something called "Shannon's Law", making it a felony offense to fire guns into the air. Unfortunately, that used to be a common practice on New Year's Eve. <br /><br />Here's an excerpt I copied from the family's website: "Shannon’s Law makes it illegal to fire a gun into the air in Arizona’s cities and towns. Get the facts! In June 1999, 14-year-old Shannon Smith was talking on the telephone in the backyard of her central Phoenix home. A bullet that was fired into the air over a mile away struck her in the head, tragically ending her life.<br />In a grassroots effort, Shannon’s parents united with law enforcement officials, prosecutors, politicians, and citizens worked to make a change."Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-36720508839999247902016-08-18T22:12:17.470-04:002016-08-18T22:12:17.470-04:00That was rotten luck.

I can't see that being fun firing in the air. If you want to shoot go to a driving range where you have targets. They say that is fun.shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-13042435749601564682016-08-18T08:50:32.940-04:002016-08-18T08:50:32.940-04:00I do remember that poem from school.

Almost looks shot from above.<br />We see bullet slugs on the ground a lot while walking.
