When can I start shooting out my neighbor's Christmas lights?
The big azz inflatable Santas, snow men, Christmas trees... they go first! It's gotten redonkulous theae past few years. Tasteful decorations .... they ain't!

Actually, during fireworks would have been the perfect time to shoot them out. If you were inclined toward such an action. Not that I recommend such.

A pallet gun should do just fine. Slow leak and they will never think its you. By the time they find the hole (s) it will be next year. Maybe the blame will be on a mouse. Muhahahah. WE don't do Christmas but a few gifts when kids were little. Those big inflatable Santas or whatever drives me nuts. Strangers driving by stopping taking pictures getting in our way. When you politely ask them to move, they give us siht like if they own the fooking the road. Blow it the f up. You ahve my permission from a none gun owner

Throws a watermelon 150’ with 200lb of weight. Ran out of weights while testing… But that may be overkill for inflatables. |

You guys have convinced me that I'm outta line....
I'm now shopping for huge inflatables .... snow men, Santas, Christmas trees, and 4 big ass pumpkins ... to accomodate both Halloween and Thanksgiving. I want them all up by July and if Baz can find me a few pink Flamingos .... they wil be prominent also. These will be year round too .... Merry Thanksgiving neighbors !I've got to plan my light show now .... and audio.... Bing's "White Christmas"? ..... nope ... Chuck's "Run, Run, Rudolph" on repeat play 24x7x365

They go up on the Friday after Thanksgiving and come down on New Year's day. If you have no children, they stay in the garage all year long.
