ROTFL. What an idiot. Normal people always mistake gunshots as someone setting off firecrackers and someone setting off firecrackers as gunshots. Opening a can of pop is almost always quickly identified as someone opening a can of pop because you have to be close enough to see them opening it in order to hear it.
In my rural community, I hear gunshots all the time. Then again, many of us have our own ranges set up on our properties and regularly keep in practice by putting rounds down range.
On the other hand, we don’t hear a lot of sirens, rap music or experience much crime.
Life is Good!
