It does not indicate that your property is exempt. Just saying. A buddy of mine presses a bit of that wax you can buy to create earplugs for swimming then shoots them in his basement at a target. Not saying it is smart, still it is illegal to discharge/shoot a firearm in a house as indicated in the above statute, in Missouri.

Is shooting "into" a house the same as shooting inside a house?

In the NRA reloading handbook you will find an article on reloadng 38 special loadds especially for use in below ground home basements. This was once a common practice. Ken Waters speaks more than once of using his below ground range accessed through the basement of his house. Speer makes a plastic shot for use with primers only for indoor and close range target practice.

I guess you could split that legal hair if you choose to do so. I am pretty sure it is not the "place" that you discharge into or "inside of" that is the intent of the law, rather the discharging it self. Any way, if you have a notion to do a bit of "test" firing inside your house, or into your house, it is your house. Good luck if/when the local peace officer comes-a-knocking.

I won't be doing any testing. I would think the intent were to punish those doing drive-by's with the additional crime of shooting into a dwelling, etc....but... if you're pretty sure, I guess that settles it.
