My town had such a march last Sunday when the freedom of
the town was given to USAFE.
The march was headed by a very happy young policemen,
followed by US services personnel carrying M1 rifles,
empty or otherwise. As part of the bunfight, the Air
Force's precision drill team, when not throwing their M1
Garands over their shoulder to someone 8 feet behind/up
in the air etc, did let off a number of blank rounds.
Which makes me wonder ...
As this was in the town centre and possibly on the
highway, would someone have to give permission and if
so, who? And isn't always an offence to discharge a firearm
within 50 feet of the centre of a highway?
(Nothing against our allies, just musing on the
technicalities.)

Hmm, I'm not sure firing a blank is technically
"discharging a firearm". The idea was that discharging
a round of ammunition within 50 feet of a highway was
unsafe as it might hit something, I assume.
Discharging a firearm means to "expel" a shot,
projectile, or other missile.
