Where we live it’s one of those situations, farmland with neighborhoods and large lots built next to them. The wildlife abounds around here. We are allowed to shoot coyotes in our property without a permit. Nearly everyone I know in this neighborhood has a gun. Every so often, you hear a gunshot out there. Nobody is alarmed, thank goodness.
There is a shooting range in my town. Which both my wife and I are members. So, I hear shooting from there all the time.
My neighbor to the north has 50 acres. I heard him out shooting some kind of semi auto last Sunday afternoon.
About a hour later another person was shooting a semi auto (8 shots in a row) out behind his house about a half mile away to the west.
Then I heard someone up at the range shooting what sounded like a larger caliber rifle. I can usually tell by the direction to the range form my house. It is about 2 miles away and up hill in elevation.
This was all in a 3 hour period.
