Shooting shotguns while drunk is not legal.

Can you bring up the statute for that?

Reckless endangerment doesn’t specifically cover getting drunk and shooting shotguns.

True. It doesn’t specify any specific action. Shooting guns while UI sure does qualify….

§ 2705. Recklessly endangering another person. A person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree if he recklessly engages in conduct which places or may place another person in danger of death or serious bodily injury.

Sure, it can be reckless but it absolutely is not illegal to fire a shotgun after drinking alcohol. That alone is not illegal. You know this.
