Nope, firing in the air in the presence of people is a sure fire way to see the inside of a Texas jail, no matter who's property you're on. Unless this guy can guarantee he knows where the bullets were going to land, he's toast.
Id be willing to bet he was pretty careful.
He did use a shotgun after all an his own ranch.
He's on the tube not in jail,and all this after a visit fron the secret service.
He's sitting good. he may see a law suit from the libs but thats a risk Im sure he was aware of.
Im pretty confident this man intended no malice
