For parents who have children or teens and adults with Autism or other disorders that can significantly impact the sensory sytem, the sounds of gun firing isn't just loud, it can be physically painful. If the shots are fired in areas where homes are, then it isn't just a matter of telling their kids it's going to happen, especially if the child/adult doesn't understand.

I'm not saying the Militia shouldn't fire their as part of this special event, (personally I LOVE events with this type of history) I just wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions about the reasons why people might have concerns.
