What about Gun Safety Rule #4: “Be sure of your target and what is behind it?”

In how many parts of the US is the population density low enough that it’s OK to “point a rifle into the air, the bullet comes down where?”

While I agree with your intent, this was a shotgun. Shotguns have far less range than a rifle.

It was a shotgun. Not much danger from falling pellets.

It was a shotgun. One of its primary functions is to be a gun you can shoot in the air with low risk of injury down range.

The Mythbusters proved a slug from a bullet falling from the sky will not hurt you.

It’s duck season all over America right now, people everywhere are shooting shotguns into the air. It’s no big deal.
