I don't think it's fair to say this was planned as a shooting activity, either. Despite our insistence that we're for "men" and "women" - in reality, in today's world, we treat our members as if they were children, so no, no advisor is going to approve an outing where "we're gonna go to a ranch and fire off a few rounds into the air".
What we know: No one was hurt.
What we don't know:
- There is no statement that the firearms were being used recklessly.
- There is no indication that alcohol was involved.
- There is no indication that any of those involved were to young to be handling firearms (18 is the legal age to own, and carry long guns; 21 is the legal age to carry handguns; there are no age restrictions on use, but use by minors does in most states require permission if not active presence of a parent or guardian)
If those involved were too far away to hear loudspeakers (again - we don't know), it might be safe to assume they were also away from inhabited buildings and/or wearing ear protection. Hmmmmm, guess we don't want to consider that they may have been acting safely.
