I hope that somehow- through the acrid clouds of gunsmoke and the screams, some wag had the wit to say "Oops, Butter-fingers!"

Dear me. The poor man must feel humiliated. I'm sure he'll avoid social functions for a while after this gaffe. Would it be rude to send him a copy of this book?

No, it's when it gets all wet and soggy underfoot. People can slip and bang their heads.

You could breath in a piece of confetti and choke on it, I suppose. We need to do tests.

I didn't assume anything at all. Randomly firing a gun into the sky is NOT safe and definately NOT the proper way to shoot a gun. You don't need to be a sniper to figure that out.

Some time around 1503 some schmuck with an arquebus must have tried the experiment. I hope he was lucky and the returning bullet missed him.
