Post It appears to me.........
The only law that I have found that might justify firing a firearm in a residential area "to protect life or property" has one warning.

The law that permits firing a firearm in a residential area "to protect life or property" only applies "if, under the circumstances, the discharge does not pose a reasonably foreseeable risk to life, safety, or property."

I strongly suspect that the police would argue that any discharge would be such a risk. They give you a ride, and you spend money on a lawyer.

Just my opinion.
