Gunshots in HPP?!?!?

WTF is with that? Are you trying to make up stuff to put in my mouth? That said, many other things are often mistaken for gunshots. However, the incident as described at the beginning of the thread sounded pretty convincingly like a pattern of gunshots.

I don't get some of you people. If I hear a gunshot late at night or any time it seems out of place I will at a minimum note the time just in case it becomes important later. I may well have called the police as a result of the reported incident. That kind of crap is most likely kids or drunks neither of which needs guns, especially at that hour. If it is some neighbor killing pigs or loose dogs going after his animals then no harm or foul. If the cops find him they will say "OK, just call us next time it happens so we don't come running". If in an rural area and it's a neighbor target shooting I will ignore it if he looks like he is safe. If it goes on long enough and it bothers me I will call him and tell him I don't generally mind but how about giving it a rest for now.
Bottom line: You can take something seriously and still joke about it. I actually believe that's healthier.
