In my younger days I shot in the house now and then

but never accidentally or negligently. It was always on purpose. And always into a good bullet stop.

When we lived in the mountains in southern Arizona my friend Tom came over for a visit while our wives drove into Tucson to shop. It was cold and snowing and we wanted to shoot so we set up a nice box of sand on the back porch, with an old pickup tailgate at an angle that would bounce the bullets into the sandbox.

We shot from the living room, through the dining room and kitchen onto the back porch. We used .22's and shot for quite a long time.

We had to open a door and run a fan to get the gunsmoke and smell out before the ladies got home. But we had plenty of time because it was a 45 minute drive just to Tucson City Limits.

That was once I did not get into trouble for shooting in the house.
