It's pretty safe to fore a gun in the air. When the bullet comes back down it will only be traveling at its terminal Velocity, not at the extremely high Velocity it has exiting the gun.

Terminal Velocity for a bullet would be around 45fps, feet per second, its muzzle Velocity would be between 900 and 1500fps for most hand guns.

If a 9mm were fired straight up and came down on someone's head, it would hit with the force of a very small rock being rather gently tossed. A good baseball pitch is roughly three times the Velocity.

In order for the bullet to pose a significant threat it needs to travel a ballistic trajectory and stay within an effective range, given enough time it will always decelerate to its local terminal Velocity.

Oh, at first I thought the squirrel got fed up with the turtle and did it intentionally (but also regretfully). Now I see the vertical lines indicating the falling bullet.

Yep.

Back in the day we had a website called thisiswhyyourefat.com, which was just pictures of crazy food concoctions, like the taco meat pizza (an extra large pizza hut hand tossed meat lovers pizza covered in lettuce and sour cream rolled into a giant burrito).

It was glorious.

My one submission was a dozen Double Quarter-pounders with cheese breaded and deep fried. I ate one of them; I thought I was going to die.
