Its a felony anywhere I have lived. It generally falls under "reckless discharge", and I remember it covered in hunter's safety class back when I was a 6th grader. They very sternly warned of dire consequences.



I don't know the level of seriousness here, but discharging a weapon within 150 yards of a house or occupied building is definitely unlawful in CA:

"3004. (a) It is unlawful for any person, other than the owner, person in possession of the premises, or a person having the express permission of the owner or person in possession of the premises, to hunt or to discharge while hunting, any firearm or other deadly weapon within 150 yards of any occupied dwelling house, residence, or other building or any barn or other outbuilding used in connection therewith. The 150-yard area is a "safety zone."

(b) It is unlawful for any person to intentionally discharge any firearm or release any arrow or crossbow bolt over or across any public road or other established way open to the public in an unsafe and reckless manner."
