And... what? standing still? People use their feet to MOVE. (Also, drive-bys are so called for reason...)
If I shoot across my street, that bullet is either going into:
1. a (small, and, again, MOVING) human target, or
2. my neighbor's house.
Have you ever shot at a target moving at 6-10+ miles/hour roughly perpendicular to your line of fire? Shit's not easy. If I let off more than one round, odds are high that at least one bullet is going into my neighbor's house.
Oh. And if a bullet is shot into my house, that shit is coming into the house. Or did you think think glass panes/drywall stop bullets? So where the hell am I even going to take cover when exchanging fire?
> There is risk in any action you take
Basement. Lock door. Find cover. Wait. Rule zero of self defense: don't get into gunfights in an open street, and don't depend on drywall as a bulletproof barrier. (Actually, that's not even rule zero because most people aren't stupid enough that it has to be explicitly stated.)
