That bullet you fired into the air is going to come down and if you are anywhere near a residential area, someone could get hurt or killed. That gun should only be coming out when it is absolutely necessary and a round should only be fired if absolutely necessary. Anything else is just negligent handling of a firearm.
Absolutely true, if you pull a gun it should be to use it and if you don't have those intentions leave it alone. If you pull a gun for a warning you may get shot with your own gun.

As I mentioned in a previous post here ( http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Mixon-House-Gun?pid=1337787#pid1337787) it looks like that Brewer dude was a multi time felon and was previously convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm that he had tucked in his waistband while driving around. The recidivism rate on stupid is incredibly high.
Was thinking intoxication and possibly it still was involved. Yet this makes much more sense and you taught me a new word as well.

Every round going up into the air is coming down somewhere with enough force to kill someone. If you are going to do something stupid, at least have the decency to just injure yourself and not someone a mile away ordering a milkshake.
To your point, around 2014 or so there was a 7 year old boy here in Richmond who was walking to see the 4th of July fireworks. A bullet from celebratory gunfire fell from the sky and struck him in the head. His death still remains unsolved.

When I was still a Sergeant with Lexington PD, I told all my guys to stop whatever they were doing at 11:55PM on December 31st., and get to a bank or gas station and pull under an awning, because the whole East and West end projects would sound like Gettysburg at midnight. All that crap is coming back down.

My buddy does roofs and says its rare to find a roof in city limits without a bullet or two lodged in them from New Years celebrations.
Not a gun but had an idiot come along when 5 of us teenagers were target shooting our compound bows at Long Run park. Anyway we were kind of in a group behind the imaginary line we had drawn when the idiot turns and shoots an arrow straight up in the sky while laughing and saying who feels lucky.
Have never been so mad in my life yet fortunately it landed about 10 yards away from where anybody stood. Needless to say we unarmed the fool and never brought him along again. Those 20 seconds waiting for it to land was no fun at all.

Where is Mixon if his trainer is at his house? Second, did Pena open the door for the cops when they arrived because if I remember correctly from the initial reporting, no one would answer the door until the police got a warrant to search the home hours later. Pena had just got off the phone with 911 and knew the cops were coming to the house and he acted like he wanted to talk to the cops, yet when the cops get there, no one will answer the door?
Pena is at the house with Joe's sister and Lamonte Brewer. The shots come from Mixon's back yard yet Pena is calling the police acting as if the kids are the ones that fired real guns when it was in fact coming from someone in Joes back yard. He didnt know this? After the shooting why would Mixon's sister and Brewer flee the scene with a rifle instead of talking to the police.

and you also need to know exactly who you are shooting at. You cant just start shooting blindly

There are soooo many quotable lines from that movie.
A buddy and I were looking for something to do one Saturday and I told him about this commercial I saw for this crazy movie that had just opened. I loved it from the start, but he didn't take to it like I did. I think it was the grocery store chase scene that finally won him over.
