The state line legality thread got me thinking…
I know it’s illegal in most/all states to shoot over a road, but what is the law regarding shooting TOWARD a road? Animal and hunter are on the same side, at what point is it legal vs illegal? Is it as easy as calculating the ballistics and figuring out when the bullet drops more than the aiming height, thus guaranteeing the projectile doesn’t reach the road, but that doesn’t take into account deflections?
The easy answer might be just don’t hunt near a road. But realistically, there are a lot of situations where that is not feasible.
