We have been gone for a few days since New Year's Eve and got home late last night. Doing a little more unpacking this morning I found a fired bullet sitting on my driveway. Looks like some popped off a few shots to ring in the new year and my driveway happened to catch one. I couldn't tell exactly where the impact was but I assume it could have done some bouncing. Appears to have hit and deformed to between 60-70 degrees. I haven't weighed or measured it but it looks like a 9mm.

Sent via telegraph with the same fingers I use to sip whiskey.

I could here gun shots at midnight around my house. It amazes me that these a holes will fire away like they are in Libya. I'm hoping they shot into the ground, but I know they didn't.

It sounds like it was a good thing they were on vacation or they may have been in the driveway popping fireworks!

This was a bad situation. He was just walking to the car with his family and collapsed. The round was determined to be a .380

I was walking along a sidewalk in Gentilly a few years ago and found a rifle bullet. You literally never know when death will rain down on you from above.

That is true. Years ago I was at my parents on New Years leaning on the trunk of their car and a buckshot pellet hit the trunk and put a small dent

Seems like we all know someone or are someone who has experienced this stupidity first hand. My grandmother's best friend found a bullet between her feet sitting on the john many years ago. How can people still be this stupid?

Two of my coworkers in BR had the same issue. One pried a bullet from his roof tile and the other had this happen to his back porch a few feet from where his son usually plays:

Maybe Chris Rock was on to something:

You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. We need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders.

@ssholes would maybe fire a round or two off in celebration, but mag dumps would be unheard of.

We did that when I worked on night shift for New Years. It was amazing the amount of full auto gunfire you would hear

I was fishing in Lake Pontchartrain by Seabrook one night and I heard a faint whistle that got louder and louder then a sploosh, right next to by boat. May have been a meteor but given the area, my guess it was a bullet

As someone who sells roofs, you'd be surprised how many of y'all have bullets in your roofs.

Had a neighbor woman pull a .22 slug from her Bouffant hairdo when I was young.
