If you recall Perry's mayoral press conference in the alt-world, there was a lot of shooting into the air that day. And while it was dramatically necessary, I hate it when people do stupid stuff like that. Unless you fire absolutely straight up, the bullet still has ballistic energy when it comes down. If it hits a person, it can penetrate with enough force to kill.
And I wouldn't call Lucy's reaction "easy acceptance." She braced Lois about carrying in her apartment, and she did say that she doesn't take the rifle with her everywhere she goes now. There will be more about the state of this armed society soon.
Speaking of soon, another chapter is coming up.
