Machine Gun Fire

@porwest I am glad it turned out to be nothing.

@Hannihar Me too.

I have no idea. There were no sirens and no news reports, so I can only speculate. But thankfully it WAS nothing.

@porwest Is it so important to hunt in the XXI century?

@marguicha I think it actually IS. If you think about it, what's more humane? The way we slaughter animals in mass production for food, or going out and hunting the land? And at the same time it connects us with the animal world, and the bounty they provide and makes us appreciate all of it more. When you go to the grocery store and buy a pound of hamburger you rarely think of the cow. You rarely think of what the cow went through to wind up on your plate. You rarely think about the method of the kill which is very dramatic actually. When we are removed from the process and the how, of how our food becomes our food, we become very disconnected with the animal world and life in general. So hunting not only provides valuable perspective on life. It provides a certain respect for all things living and makes you appreciate it more when you do eat these animals.

It does happen here more than I would ever care to admit. But the frequency of it is always overblown.

I wish. No, this was not TV and I have never been able to hear someone's TV outside my window. It was in the distance but who knows where. Never heard any sirens and never saw anything on the news, so not sure what it was.

@porwest I'm sure it did give you pause. I'm glad it was a non-event.

@just4him Me too. lol

It turned out to be a non-event. No sirens and nothing on the news, so not sure what it was. But it did give me pause.

@porwest I hope it was nothing serious.

I did not. But no sirens and nothing on the news so I have no idea.

@DocAndersen No. Certainly not. I mean, there ARE a lot of farms around. MAYBE a farmer has an automatic weapon. BUT they are also certainly illegal...so...not sure.

@porwest curious then, not something one wants in a neighborhood with kids.

In hindsight, no sirens, and nothing on the news. So, not really sure what happened. But nothing serious it appears.

It was off in the distance and outside. If someone was playing a game, they must have had it attached to an amplifier, and a very big one. lol

Luckily, and thankfully, I saw nothing on the news. Heard no sirens. I am not sure what went down, but at least it was not a massacre.
