~Hearing a Gun Shot~

[Dabs]

I got up a bit earlier than usual, and just now....I heard what sounded like a gun shot.

Have you ever heard what sounded what appeared to be a gun shot??
What thoughts ran thru your mind?? (if any) ~LoL~

Country folk prolly don't pay it no mind, hunters maybe (??)......or other stuff.
But I live in the city.....IN the middle of the city.......hospital over there --->
Airport that-a-way ~~~~
The interstate 1 mile down that way <---------

It's not a sound we hear often......or at least, I never have, since I have been living here. I think...wonder if some looney tune has gotten pissed at their spouse or live-in.

Muffler backfire ? Blown electric transformer ?
Cop correcting an 80 year old lady for jay walking ?

Yes I've heard a few gunshots. The thought in my head after hearing it "I hope a bullet doesn't fly through the window next".

Years ago, I lived downtown in a lower-income neighborhood, a coupla blocks up the street from a corner crowded with bars and whore houses... it wasn't uncommon to hear gunshots in the wee hours of the morning... over the years that I lived there, I found a coupla holes in the side of my house from stray bullets... and, one time when I forgot to take my car off the street for the night, I found a bullet hole in my car the next morning...

that was me trying to get your attention

 

[strollingbones]

depends on if its 'normal' stuff or not......if it comes from the north of the house...its my neighbors they do a lot of musket loaders which is hellish loud....if it come from any other side...i am gonna go look....plus if there is screaming.....

Nice neighborhood...

Out here where I live, it's nothing unusual- especially this time of year, plus there's a gun store/range about 1 mile away, lol.

And you're all bent out of shape over some neg rep?

 

[strollingbones]

its dark now.....being night and all.....at night when i am alone....i dont go out no matter what i hear.....the dogs will alert me if anything is out there.....plus there is a loaded 22....i prefer a .22 to a shotgun....but there is a shotgun too

 

[zzzz]

Tonight, 2 shots about a minute apart. And this was an hour after dark fell. Of course I live out in the boonies but I don't know what they would be shooting at in the dark unless they are coon hunting. Anyway it was a half mile away or so back in the woods somewhere.

So out here in the wood you give it a thought or two but go on with life. In the city ... ya never know!!!

My dad's house just this side of Mexico got fired at.





I once heard a strange bang outside and went out to see what it might be.

In time to watch the vacant house across the street from me explode in flames.

 

[strollingbones]

i use to live in an apartment building ...4 apt...in the middle of nowhere......one night we had a dude wreck in the creek.....but the scariest loudest noise was a transformer exploding.....that took us all a few minutes to digest
