"Live on the edge" Edge of what stupidity? Full moon out there?

Poor re-reporting here. He didn't fire a cannon into the trailer, the cannon blew up and shrapnel injured him and killed her. He stupidly used ingredients from fireworks in the cannon...so he was living on borrowed time with that choice. I'd guess his "cannon" was an industrial gas cylinder with the end cut off (they're used to make bowling ball mortars and are a lot of fun to shoot). They aren't illegal but can be "interesting" when Bubba hasn't a clue what he's doing.

Wow, too bad it did not take him out, that dna line needs to be eliminated.

You know what they say,"you can't fix stupid".

Another example of 'seemed like a good idea at the time'.

I've wanted to build a black powder mortar (throwing aluminum cans or bowling balls) and a trebuchet; but even here in Nebraska there are few places to shoot them. Not in my back yard, assuredly.
