Site SearchNashville, N.C. — Police arrested a man who they say got drunk and fired shots outside a Nashville home early Monday.
Authorities said they received calls about shots being fired off Birchwood Drive around 2 a.m. They determined that Paris Jason Lopez had had too much to drink and started firing a gun into the air.
No one was injured or was in any danger.
Police said they got Lopez to sleep and waited at the home with him. When he woke up, he surrendered peacefully.
Lopez was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was placed in the Nash County Jail under a $7,500 bond.

If the bullet was shot straight up then no problem but what are the chances that he could fire them straight up. At any rate what are the chances that it would actually hit someone. Very slim chance if you are out in the country.

A bullet on the other hand, falling from a height of 4000 or 5000 feet reaches a velocity of about 128mph before it strikes the ground. That is faster then the fastest baseball pitcher can throw a baseball. I know I wouldn't want to get hit anywhere by a falling bullet.
