It’s time to celebrate and many people have different ways of doing so. Firing guns into the air is one way people choose to celebrate and one must take precaution.
When a bullet falls from the sky with a velocity of up to 700 feet per second, the end result can be deadly. It can go through your home roof. It can go through basically anything at that speed. According to the studies gathered, New Year’s Eve is the busiest night of the year for illegal “celebratory” gunfire.
