WAUSAU (WAOW) - A 25-year-old Wausau man accused of firing gunshots that hit houses and a parked car during a verbal confrontation was sentenced to nine months in jail on Wednesday.
In a plea bargain, Carl Follie pleaded no contest to two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, online court records said. Prosecutors originally had charged Follie with first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
Investigators said Follie fired the shots about 3 a.m. March 23 following a verbal argument that started at a Wausau convenience store and moved to a street on the city's east side.
Police said gunshots that Follie fired hit two houses and a parked car. No one was hurt.

He is in jail.
It is very like that he will never legally own a firearm again (hopefully).

This is a story of self control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber that you would trust to protect yourself?
A Beretta Jetfiretestimonial.
Here is her story:
While out walking along the edge of a bayou just below Houma, Louisiana with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator that suddenly emerged from the murky water and charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive.
If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me I would not be here today!
Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took. The gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus ... the amount I saved in lawyer's fees was more than worth the purchase price of the gun.
I was beginning to think, poor gator.
