Permission from whom? There are three reasons to shoot a firearm, practice/fun, protection and shooting food. There are always restrictions on 'where' you shoot, but when shooting legally, i will not ask permission. The makers of illegal firearms laws will not answer the question= do the gang members 'ask' when they kill 762 every year in Chicago?
I was more thinking, for example if I want to go shoot a target in my back yard by myself, and it for some reason falls on the ground and discharges(I know irresponsible gun ownership) however that is currently a crime where I live. It is possibly a felony. Even if no one is hurt. HOWEVER I watch people(of a certain persuasion) firing guns into the air wildly every fourth of July and no one cares. This confuses me as I've seen someone get arrested and charged for the scenario I described before but not the second. So how is the first not an infringement on the second amendment?
Shooting in a 'city' is the same as going 80 in a 25 MPH zone because the bullet always comes down, we have to restrict 'Where' you can shoot. I have fired a million rounds and i live in a city of 500,000, but i have never fired a weapon in the city, unless it was in a gun range. Yes, the nit wits that shoot in the air should be arrested but the police can not be 'there' all the time.
