AP>In Kentucky shooting a gun up in the air is considered felony wanton
AP>endangerment.  We had an instance where a baby was killed by someone shootin
AP>up in the air on a new years night.

Absolutely!  Shooting into the air is reckless in the extreme.

AP>Strangely enough we have a law on the book about warning shots... even with
AP>police... if you are going to shoot you better mean it.  If you say I fired
AP>warning shot in court you get a wanton endangerment charge.  Even the law
AP>enforcement must shoot center mass.

Shooting, as I said, is using deadly force.  Firing a "warning shot" is
admitting you had no justification for using deadly force.
