Lima Police Department Warns of dangers of "Celebratory Gunfire."
As we approach New Year's Eve, I would like to remind you of the dangers of using firearms to "ring in" the New Year.
Though you might think that you are being safe if you fire a weapon into the air, this is not the case. You have likely heard the saying, "What goes up, must come down." That saying can be taken literally in this case. Firing a handgun, rifle, or shotgun into the air is extremely dangerous, illegal, and could result in injury or death.
Discharging a firearm is illegal within the City limits. If you choose to disregard the law, you could face arrest.
Please share this message with your friends and family. Even if they are outside the City of Lima, they should also understand the dangers involved in the all too common practice.
The Lima Police Department wishes you a very safe and enjoyable New Year's Eve, and a very Happy New Year!
