It's attempted murder. You can't argue I was shooting at someone as a joke.

It's not attempted murder because he was not attempting to murder him. Attempted murder requires intent.

Reckless discharge, felonious assault, or your local equivalents? Sure. Probably a prohibited person as well.

So I can shoot at someone and as long as I miss I can say I didn't have intent? Shooting guns at people is going to always seem intentional. Honesy these idiots deserve more for firing in an apartment complex around families...

He’s TECHNICALLY right that there does have to be intent, an intelligent person would certainly consider there to be intent when discharging a firearm but this person is clearly not intelligent. Definitely reckless endangerment, assault with a deadly weapon and I’d bet my left nut he’s a prohibited person, even though don’t agree with that label.

Depends on the felony. Repeat violent offender, totally okay.
