Anyone hear any gunfire last night?

[Archae]

You know, the idiots who shoot into the air to "celebrate."

A town near me set off a few fireworks for 2017.

But I didn't hear any gunfire.

1. We normally hear some

But not last night. Very subdued here in the San Diego 'burbs.

2. Yes

3. I heard some last night here in St. Paul, MN.

I still don't understand why people do that, though.

Now, back when I had a tuba, I would go outside and play the National Anthem on it at midnight, as loudly as I could. That made some sense, although it probably annoyed the heck out of my neighbors.

Here's a girl doing that:

4. fireworks and a lot of yelling and carrying on...

on the beach. You know, like I would have if I was still in my 20's...or 30''s...or 40's...

5. Plenty

from numerous directions. Someone a few blocks to the NW burned through a box of ammo, while a closer person opted for both barrels of a shotgun. That one rattled the windows and scared the cat. Oklahoma, where its not just the wind sweeping down the plains.

6. Yes, off my deck we saw the vapor of a gunshot in the dark night

My cousin pointed out it was different than fireworks. We saw and heard gun shots in San Francisco.

8. Yes, the distinctive semi-automatic handguns with the rapid tat tat tat tat....

has been around for decades, but I noticed a significant uptick in fireworks, and less firearms this year.

9. Where I used to live it was like living in Beirut

One year I was scared a bullet was going to come through the roof. One of the joys of living in the 'hood. :/

Where I"m at now it's mostly firecrackes/m80s.. I do hear an occasional gun but not like before.. yikes.

10. Just a few distant fireworks.

Not nearly as many as previous years. I didn't even hear yelling.

11. 2016 has been relatively gun quiet

No shotgun blast during dove season or the super sonic crack of deer rifles this deer season. Last night there were no fireworks. I don't know what it means.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

12. Nope - all quiet in Vancouver WA.

[Ernesto]

13. Yes, the ammosexuals were at it in my

rural Sacramento county 'hood.

[ileus]

14. Nope...

[royable]

15. Here in central Tucson there seemed to be more gunfire than fireworks.

Granted the gunfire might be louder so it carries further, but still, it was quite unsettling.

Years ago I'd stand out in the (empty) street and look at all the fireworks going off, but for the past few years I hunker down inside my house to avoid bullets, and I worry about them coming through windows.

16. I remember when I lived in LA...

...every New Year someone would get killed by falling bullets.
