do you seriously believe that throwing ammo in a fire is legal in MA?
use a little logic, any police will arrest you for it. that I know 100%, even if the rounds don't fire off, There's a slew of charges they'll slap you with so fast your head will spin.
It's an automatic endangerment to public because you cant control the direction of the bullet, and I'm sure any cop can find 10 more good reasons to arrest you on the spot.
Once again, unless you can offer a citation, please do not say that X is legal or Y is illegal. MA gun laws are very difficult to understand as it is without people making stuff up.
It is reasonable to say "I would recommend against doing X, because of A, B, and C." That is very different from saying that "X is illegal" and that distinction is very important.
For example, it is incorrect and misleading to say "Transporting an uncased pump shotgun on the seat of your car is illegal." It isn't. See MGL Chapter 140 Section 131c:
http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXX/Chapter140/Section131c
It is quite reasonable to say "I recommend against carrying an uncased pump shotgun on the seat of your car because if you get stopped for a traffic violation the responding officer may not know the details of the laws (specifically MGL Chapter 140 Section 131c)."
The former is an incorrect and misleading statement. The later is a defensible opinion that different people can agree or disagree with, and readers can understand both the law and people's different views of legal risk associated with particular behavior.
It is reasonable to say that "I would recommend against throwing bullets into a fire because if the police responded they might find (or make up) something to charge you with, or simply decide that you are not suitable and pull your LTC." That is a reasonable statement to make and, in fact, something that I agree with.
It is not reasonable to say "throwing bullets into a fire is illegal" without backing it up with a citation.
Is throwing bullets into a fire stupid? Sure. Dangerous? Not very, actually (see the Mythbusters episode). Something your police department might take a dim view of if they know about it? Probably, but given all the fireworks that I hear go off in our neighborhood near July 4th, I doubt they would actually respond unless something bad happened.
Finally, please read what I have written carefully and understand that there is an important distinction between what I recommend doing (or not doing) versus what I believe the law to be. If you are incapable of drawing that distinction, then please stop commenting on the law.
