Let's say they decide they can do this without causing any damage-- maybe they shoot down a deserted highway, or set up a target in the middle of a park.

What harm, huh? It's not their fault if every parent in the park grabs their kid and leaves, or if the merchants at the exits of that highway don't get any business because everyone is scared to drive there.

What after all is the purpose of "open carry" if you can't also "open shoot"?

Residents, homeowners, and lawful gun owners can not shoot firearms on the private property of homes in residential neighborhoods where the land is less than one acre.

just squeeze off a few into your neighbor and claim you thought he was going to hurt you.

Yes and you have to fire your gun at random on appointed days.

Like fire drills in reverse.
