It's pretty clear who in this thread has had experience raising teenagers and who hasn't.
Oh, and I think it was lionking (apologies if I'm remembering that wrong) that said something about the guy getting in trouble for not being at a shooting range. It may come as a surprise, but there are still some places where it's actually legal to discharge a firearm on your own property. It probably depends on the state, but you can also shoot on land managed by the BLM (at least here in Nevada). I go shooting on a dry lake bed, about a mile off of I-15, and it's perfectly legal.
It is legal to fire out of the city limits in most locations. Reckless use of a firearm and endangerment is another matter. That applies everywhere. See also the Police report and response.
I think it was a waste of perfectly good ammunition, but it is his ammunition to waste. I would have made a vid of me running over it. Imagine 80,000 pounds of screaming truck attacking a laptop. As for love, discipline is love... You don't have to say it while you are giving this kind of love.

Are you saying that what the father did was "reckless use of a firearm and endangerment?"
Seriously?
He shot into the ground, in the middle of a large field.
Either you're not as familiar with guns as you've claimed on this forum, or you're just saying whatever you feel you can get away with that will further your agenda. I'm guessing that it's actually a mix of both.

Do you have a source for that? 'Cuz what I found - on the Facebook page of the guy that made the video - is this:
"The police by the way said 'Kudos, Sir' and most of them made their kids watch it. I actually had a 'thank you' from an entire detectives squad. And another police officer is using it in a positive manner in his presentation for the school system. How's about those apples? Didn't expect THAT when you called the cops did you?"
So what was that about a "police report and response?" Do you have some new information that you'd like to share?

Can you believe that YouTube shows that this thing has been seen by just less than 12 million people? I just saw that there.

Check your CCW. It may have print right on your State's stating that it can be suspended or revolked for such. If you have a "negligent" discharge and someone calls it in, that could be construed as reckless use. So can brandishing (pulling your gun on someone). You don't think taking the 1911 out because you are so p*ssed off at your daughter that your voice is cracking with your hands shaking is normal behavior, do you? God, I sure hope not. The stuff he said was creepy as hell. He's a nut job. "This one is for this...this one is for that...this one is for what you called your mother...this one is just for fun!" Yikes...Dad's creepy! I sure don't know anyone who would do such a thing. To put it up on the internet too. You don't pull your gun out to scare your kids. Sorry!
That would be the same thing as having a fight with your wife. You pick up your gun and storm outside and shoot her tires full of holes. WTF?? Something is not right with this father. I'm telling you what! The next thing, she'll come down with a black eye or something. Yikes!

If your husband shot out your tires because you two had a fight... it's the same damn thing. Not so funny now, is it? He would have been arrested here for that.
This how parenting should be. Cudos to this amazing man.

I can see that all the drama isn't on TNT.
