What is it lately with idiots and their guns?
Keyston J. Rice, 21, faces a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness.
Bloomington police were called to Campus Corner, 1150 S. Clarizz Blvd., at 11:20 p.m. Tuesday. Officer Stephanie Barnes reported that when she arrived, witnesses said a man had shot his gun numerous times before leaving the scene.................................Rice initially told police he’d only fired one warning shot in the air, but he later admitted to firing multiple warning shots. Witnesses told police Rice did fire shots in the air and straight ahead.
Brilliant. Not only did this joker act extremely recklessly with his gun by shooting it at an unknown, unidentified target he also fired shots straight up in the air. Hello? That only works in the movies, don't you watch Mythbusters? Those bullets fired up have to come down eventually and killing or seriously injuring someone two blocks away when the bullett comes back down is even more appauling than shooting someone on the other side of the bushes that you fired into.
Police arrested Rice and also cited him for violating a city ordinance that bans shooting guns within the city limits. Rice was taken to Monroe County Jail. Bond was set at $2,000 surety, $500 cash.Not enough in our opinion. This was a legal gun permit holder and its people like this that create the image of reckless, old west gun fighters for the rest of us who are responsible gun owners and permit holders. We certainly hope that they make an example out of this character and whatever happens, take his weapons away and revoke his permit to carry. The majority of Licensed To Carry gun owners in Monroe County are responsible and concerned citizens. They don't need someone like this running around with a permit to carry.

boo hoo?
I think you need to worry about drunk drivers more than gun owners.... who kills more each year?
We are glad you found us. Think you missed the point though. We are all licensed carriers in Indiana, and fully agree with your deduction that drunk drivers are more dangerous to the public safety. In fact, we feel the public is safer having a few of us around every now and then. ;-)
However, that doesn't change the fact that this idiot was one of us - licensed gun owner. He acted recklessly and dangerously. His behavior is contradictory to the normal behavior of Indiana Licensed Gun owners
