Dude shot his gun without even knowing what he was shooting at.

While I don't condone the guy for jumping out of the bushes at 11p.m. (which would scare the h..l out of me), turning and firing on something that you can't see isn't a smart move either. I mean he could have easily hit the air conditioner or a power line with the bullet (depends on where either are located), which would've either started a fire or caused an explosion that would've done a lot of damage (if not killed people as well). This country's overemphasis on 'the bad guys out to get you if you're not armed' scenario gets people so keyed up that they have to get a gun 'for protection'; then end up with all these 'horrible accidents' like the 2 year old accidentally shooting his mother dead when he reached into her handbag, etc. People, media included, need to put stuff in its proper perspective instead of hyping everything in order to sell guns and fear throughout the country.
