Another Belltown closing time ruckus....

Is it just me, or is it NOT a good idea for the police to let someone who fired a gun outside a packed club to walk away?

On 6/13/10, at approximately 2:30 a.m., shortly after bar close, officers heard a single gunshot come from the area just to the north of a night club in the 2200 block of Western Av.  According to the Club Security, they had been advised that a male who had just gotten into a red Cadillac had been armed with a handgun...

During the investigation, the male admitted firing one shot into the air.  He claimed that it was in response to two males who had been flashing their own guns, though there were no witnesses or evidence to support his claim...

The suspect was investigated and released at the scene.

What kind of precedent does this set? If I get a concealed weapons permit, I can start whipping out my gun and letting off a few victory shots just for the hell of it?
