or when i was a kid, on nye the neighbors used to shoot pistols in the air....yep, this happened in good old san diego, not the appalachias

That was good, sorry if that was too close to home for you, now have you got something adult and halfway intelligent to add?

You also have cases where people are cleaning their guns or just messing with them and they go off.

Also, incompetent and knucklehead shooters.

People going to the bathroom or dropping their guns.

Letting kids get a hold of their firearms.

And "celebratory" gunfire.
