Your right about the right to keep and bear arms. Unfortunately, it's against the law to discharge a firearm in a subdivision in Hawaii County unless your life is at stake.
When I hear someone in my neighborhood shooting ( I've been on both ends of a gun and know the sound) I assume someone is either in a life threatening situation, or breaking the law.
I call 911 and give the location if possible.
Tom, the gun and load you used were correct for the situation, but the location was not. You were lucky.
Keep and bear arms all you want, discharge them at the range, or in a hunting preserve in season, or use them to (heaven forbid) protect the life of yourself or a loved one. But if I hear a shot, the cops are coming.
