David,
  You must not have read the label on the .22 rounds you've been firing. The 
average .22 round has a range of over one and half miles.  Thus if you were 
standing say half a mile from a park, school yard, etc.. and fired into the 
air then yes the bullet could travel far enough and fast enough to still 
seriously injure or kill a person if they were struck by it.  Which happens 
to be just what did occur some twenty years ago here in my home town.
