Semi-automatic weapons fire....
Going off now, as I type.
Admittedly, this is a rural area, and dove season sounded like a battlefield, but this shit is too close for comfort. Some drunken yahoo thinks he's out in the middle of nowhere, probably.

Ugh, I hate it when that happens around where I live (also a rural area). It just makes you feel so uneasy, especially when you're outside when you hear it.

Commander, you are ordered to return fire. Presume all targets hostile.

Shit man, if I heard gunfire where I live that would warrant a call to the police. Of course, Im surrounded by business parks with Intel, Sony, Honeywell, etc, and not fields.
When I was kid and living in Union City there was legal duck hunting about a half mile from my house. Then they built a development there and the owners got the city to ban hunting cause they didnt like finding dead birds. Uh, you bought a house next to a hunting lodge, should'nt the lodge have any rights? It was there first? Answer, no. Money talks.

But it's still going on. Sounds like they're moving around, one burst will be louder than the next....
Just wish they'd limit it to playing with shotguns, or better yet, one of the many firing ranges around here. The old double-wide of doom isn't exactly armor plated.

The ones across the revine in front of us do nothing but yell at eachother and the dog all day.
Half the ones behind us keep builing crap like sheds and hunting stands on our property.
But it's the ones to the northeast of us that are trouble. Bunch of drunk crazies who've driven ATVs on our land and shoot off guns at all hours of the day (shooting for an hour or so on weekend afternoons is one thing, but half the dya, several days in a row, till 11 at night?).

Hehe, sounds like where I used to live, but it didn't take multiple crazies with guns to create a battlezone effect... Just took one half-drunk redneck neighbor wandering around at all times of the day with at least a half-dozen guns with him (read: made the Doom guy look like he had nothing, and I am not joking). Great thing was that he usually lost/dropped as much ammo as he fired. Made for some really great antics on my part with very little work.

I didn't know you were in the area. Sorry, dude.

To be honest, I'd rather hear gunfire than the assholes with the loud car stereos with the big subwoofers that live across from me.

A few days ago, there was this loud explosion.
My mom is startled. What's that? She asks.
Recognizing it, I respond: A 0.380 caliber bullet being fired. She freaks and grounds me for "an unhealthy obsession with such things"

Well, she only grounded me for a few hours.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:*points and laughs at YT*
The next time my neighbours press the buttons on their security system, I'm telling mom that they duct taped 5 kg of C-12 onto the wall of our house, and are arming it.
And the lawn mower has become an M-134.

I get the same kind of thing...
On a related note, some assholes are setting off firecrackers in our back yard every night... The huge flash that illuminates half the windows in our house is actually more annoying than the noise... Bastards.

Good thing the only other residents of my neighborhood are old people. The only time I hear gunfire is during New Years, when the retards go get drunk, drive around like assholes and fire their guns into the air (or, if they're sickos, at other people--but it's been awhile since that's happened in Madison Heights).
