Hey Joe, ever blast a Miller with a 12 ga. #4 shot at
twenty feet? Not
much can left.

Is it illegal to target shoot while drinking in Can. ?
Texas? Anywhere?


If you were at a club, unless it had a license to serve liquor, it would
be illegal. Not because of the shooting, just that consumption of
alcohol in a public place is generally illegal. On your own property,
you'd be okay unless you were quite squiffed, in which case you could be
charged with unsafe handling of a firearm, or worse something like
criminal negligence or maybe possession of weapon dangerous to the
public peace. Makes sense to me, being hammered and messing with guns
seems pretty stupid to me.

Not sure, we plink with the BB pistols all the time when we sit on the
dock sipping brews. Floating beer bottles are great practice targets
and provide the little fisheys a place to hide.

We shoot cans with pellet rifles and pistols, unfortunatly pellets
rarely break glass bottles. I've got a Crossman BB pistol around
somewhere, I should go dig it out, holds about a hundred BBs, shoot as
fast as you can squeeze the trigger, looks like a luger. We used to play
"find the bottle in the box" back in college, you put on or two bottles
in beer box and the other guy gets six shots to "find" it.

That's how a lot of 'Russian Roulette' games got started, I
bet.

Oh absolutely, along other gems like "determining a mooses age and sex
from the aroma and texture of its' droppings, or "Proper preparation of
beavers for dining" ;-o
