Man angry at solicitor fires rifle, hits own car

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. -A door-to-door solicitor apparently rubbed a Michigan man the wrong way, prompting him to grab a rifle and fire two shots — one of which hit his own car.
Police said the 20-year-old apparently was intoxicated when the solicitor paid a visit Monday afternoon. In irritation, they said he fired once inside and once outside the suburban Detroit house.
One shot struck the resident's car, but no one was hurt.
Lt. Luke Riley told the Detroit Free Press police arrested the man, who's expected to face charges of illegally discharging a firearm.
Is it just me or have I been posting a lot of 'reasonable reaction' stories as of late? Apparently this economy is pushing the unwashed masses into a state of crazed lunacy previously unseen. I can't even imagine going to Detroit right now. I bet it looks like Alternate 1985 from 'Back to the Future 2'. What's worse is I bet the traveling salesman that got shot at is just happy he still has a job.
