Recently, we had a pregnant woman shot in the head accidentally when a
hunter's bullet richoceted, smashed a window in the car she was sitting
in, and hit her in the head, though she was fortunately not killed. This
was in a not-terribly-crowded township. The bullet had travelled much
farther than he could see (more than half a mile from the orchard behind
his home), and he didn't know about the accident until he heard about
the all-points bulletin.

This is the kind of thing that scares people about hunting the suburbs.
I don't know how much hunting there is in your area, Stefan, but I grew 
up in rural areas where Metro NY people came to hunt-- you kept your 
kids in during hunting season.

There are lots of very reliable hunters and good people who hunt-- but 
cases where you have people who make mistakes, or hunt inappropriately 
or under the influence, make reasonable people nervous.
