WHAT GOES UP, MUST COME DOWN We’re talking about “celebratory” gunfire, folks. This is a common practice for those ringing in the New Year, but we want to remind you that such gunfire is not only illegal, it’s also very dangerous. That “celebratory” bullet will land somewhere and it could result in unnecessary injury or death. If you are caught in the act, you can be arrested for unlawful discharge of a weapon, could face civil penalties where action could be taken against your property or worse
