    New Years Celebratory Gunfire- DONT DO IT!


    King County- the consequences and risks of celebratory gunfire can be serious and the King County Sheriffs Office is saying, Dont Do It! Any bullet fired from a gun must land somewhere and the risks of causing an injury or death is significant, said King County Sheriff John Urquhart Every year around the country people are injured and killed by celebratory gunfire and law enforcement officials want to keep that from happening in King County.

At a minimum a person can be charged with Reckless Endangerment and if convicted can land the shooter in jail for up to 364 days and imposed a fine of up to $5,000. Sheriff Urquharts bottom line on New Years Eve, Dont spend your last day of 2012 in jail. Have fun but dont risk lives.
