And do you have any idea how loud a rifle is when fired indoors? It is literally deafening.

Yes...as a matter of fact I do :) that's why I made that comment. It's a flat out lie....lol fired inside a pizza place. WTF are they trying to pull?

Yes, he was an actor. I feel he got bamboozled on this last gig of his.
