I have done it, but it's been years...decades...since I've fired a gun off at midnight.
Main reason, if I'm drinking, the guns stay locked up.
Since New Year's Day is my birthday, high probability is I will be tipping a few...

Fire a gun? Just a waste of ammo. I would rather have a nice moment with my wife and give her a kiss.

When I was younger and might have stayed out late, instead I went to bed early and got up for what was then opening day of ice fishing. So I never picked up the NYE habit. If I had though, I still wouldn't have been shooting. As another poster stated, my guns go away before I start to imbibe. Plus I've never picked up the "habit" of shooting w/o a backstop.

The only exception was the year of the Y2K farce. I happened to wake up just in time to see the new year in, so turned on my GPS just to watch it self implode. :D The only oddity that year occurred when I got my 35mm film developed... for some reason my camera had taken a picture of the ceiling.

My wife collected a lot pictures of the inside of her purse...

I haven't done that in decades, but I have a few .30-06 milsurp tracers that I picked up at a gun show. They're Berdan primed, and may be corrosive, so I'm wondering if firing one off is worth the multiple cleanings.

When I was a kid. Fired into a safe earth berm backstop.

Every roof I have been on and that is a fair here in Oakland has slugs embedded...

Public Safety as a matter of protocol park under freeway overpasses ad midnight nears...

Just saying...
