ATF REMINDER: CELEBRATORY GUNFIRE CAN BE LETHAL

ATF REMINDER: CELEBRATORY GUNFIRE CAN BE LETHAL: "Celebratory gunfire is not only unsafe - it is against the law. Discharging a firearm into the air is a crime and can lead to felony charges under California state law.
People who choose this method to "celebrate" may not be aware of the serious potential for harm when bullets return to the ground. Bullets shot into the air can climb two miles. The bullets can then fall at a rate of 300 to 700 feet per second. "
