Not NY as in New York...this is in North York Pa.

It should be moved to out of state section of the forum. Still an interesting read though.
Can't fix stupid.  Did he think he was Yosemite Sam?
Shooting a gun in the air is just plain stupid.  What goes up, must come down.  Google it - there are plenty of people injured by such thoughtlessness.
So did he think he was at an Iraqi wedding or something? WTF?
