What's More American than Shooting Machine Guns from Small Aircraft for Fun

There's crazy and then there's crazy with a machine gun.




Two men and a woman take turns poking a fully automatic submachine gun out the slightly open window of a small plane in flight.

They open fire toward the Gulf of Mexico below.

The whole thing was videotaped, edited and posted to the YouTube channel, Do It With Dan.

Tampa Bay Times:  'Can this be legal?' YouTube host fires submachine gun from plane into gulf (w/video)


Son of Einstein wonders if it can be legal but what's your best guess, future Rhodes scholar.  Take a moment to think if necessary.


Here's the beauty part since it may actually be legal.

A lawyer specializing in aviation issues, Guy Haggard of Orlando, said it wouldn't surprise him if the FAA follows the lead of Tampa police.

"People use helicopters for things like hog hunts," Haggard said. "In Florida, you can shoot guns from the sky in some situations."

And under FAA regulations, Haggard said, it is legal to drop an object from an aircraft as long as reasonable precautions are taken to prohibit injuries.

Bullets could be defended as "dropping objects," Haggard said.

Glory!  It looks like the defendant walks.
