Maybe...



1 - discharges a firearm? Yes.
2 - in or near a dwellinghouse; or a public place? Yes
3 - so as to endanger property or to endanger, annoy, or frighten any person? Yes. You annoyed someone.
4 - without reasonable cause? Maybe. Define 'reasonable cause'. What is reasonable to you, or the shooting community may not be reasonable to the person you annoyed, nor the judge.
