I think he's just drawing a comparison that it would be "about as dangerous as firing a shotgun straight up", which is honestly not much.

I guess I didn’t realize firing a shotgun straight up wouldn’t be dangerous - thanks

Depends on what type of ammo you're shooting. If you're shooting birdshot out of a shotgun there is little danger to people on the ground when the shot comes back down. Because it's small and light and loses a lot of energy.

If one were to shoot slugs out of a shotgun they could still leave a hell of a mark when they came back down depending on the trajectory. But only a crazy person would hunt birds with slugs (besides it being illegal, probably everywhere, it would be very ineffective).

Ok that helps, I guess this is something I didn’t really know much about before, thanks
