A .22?

I used to fire my 12-gauge shotgun - guess you could be grateful I wasn't your neighbor. ;)

I know that feeling well.
Something you might want to buy if you haven't heard of them: http://www.thundershirt.com/

I got both of my dogs (big lab and small bichon) thundershirts after I learned about them on this forum. (Thanks OG). They work great for both fireworks and thunderstorms. And both of my dogs used to react with such fear to both.
Thundershirts save so much anxiety and stress, for both you and your doggy.

Here we have heavy penalties for discharging a firearm into the air since we had a little girl killed by a returning round. Our agencies here have technology to pinpoint offenders. "Shannon's law" in Arizona makes firing a gun into the air a felony and is named for a 14 year old girl who died from a falling round.

Well, Arizona is turning out to be a disappointment. :rolleyes:

I was on my own 5-acre property, it was 1 in the morning and my neighbors were chicken and potato farms. If I were in the city no, of course I wouldn't discharge it.

It's called common sense.
 
Back in the day, in my late teens, dynamite could be purchased in most any rural hardware store. Knowing that "someday"......., my friend and I bought a case, squirreled it away, and took some out only on "special occasions".

A 1/4 stick shot beats anything for noise effect that can be bought as fireworks. 'Course, that was 60 years ago! imp
