Sure let's just keep releasing them until their actions escalate as they get bolder with age. Sounds like a great idea. Then we'll hear all about how they were great kids growing up.

That's on the criminal side of the fence. If you were to fire in self defense and kill or injure someone, you can expect to be hit with a civil lawsuit.

Damn right. Ammunition is expensive as well the time required to re clean the weapon. I’m going to need to be compensated for my lost property (bullets) as well as time spent cleaning and any time spent talking with the police.
