Here it is just a couple of minutes before midnight and the amount of gunfire I can hear is staggering. I live in the city and right now it sounds like some third world country out there. Hard to believe there are that many idiots out there. Happy New Years guys.

You sure some of them aren't firecrackers and other pyrotechnics?  I'm listening to bottle rockets here.  

But you're right.  There are a bunch of morons with firearms out here too.

There may have been some fireworks but for the most part, what I heard is gunfire. My brother is a police officer near here and he told me that as midnight approaches on New years Eve, it is very common to see police cars parked under bridges or overpasses.

Here in King Co., WA, there's all sorts of noise. A creep wanting to shoot a gun off has a pretty good chance of going undetected right about now. One of my nervous greyhounds is standing next to me, panting like she's run 3 sprint races, because she can't handle the noise. Wussy[>(]

I used to work in the downtown ER in Fresno, CA about 10 yrs ago, and every year we'd hear gunfire and security would find fired bullet shells on hospital grounds - shots fired at the hospital. I don't know what that ever accomplished.

I was talking to a friend who is an outside tech for the phone company, he said about every newyear, they have to go up on the telephone poles and repair bullet holes in the cables.

I live a block outside of Detroit and it sounds like Kabul out there on New Years Eve. Every year I find bullets that have fallen from the sky. Found two last year, and will report back on how many I find today . . .

Oh, and that was me out there firing roman candles into the air . . . heh.

I'm several suburbs out and I can still hear it!

Only once have I ever fired a gun on NYE, and that was into the ground, and when my neighbors were away up north. Crazy. Every year someone gets shot. Once a bullet came down landing in the street only a few feet from me. I stay indoors now! heh
