Not too quaint. Many cities around the US have the same problem on New Year's Eve. When we lived in Dallas we could hear the gunfire at midnight, and I can remember several news stories the next day of people injured or killed by the falling bullets. There are laws against it, but those customs seem not to die easily.

Every year the Iraqis lose several hundred people due to this quaint custom. They are not the only ones. Major problem in "East Los" every year during Cinco De Mayo.
