Do you often have to guess if the bangs you heard outside were fireworks or gunshots?
And do you think it's wise to go mouth off at the guy firing the gun? I mean MAYBE he just lacked sufficient discipline growing up, and he'd appreciate a good chewing out now? I will let you know how this turns out ..

Well if its not July 4th, New Year's or Cinco de Mayo I usually just assume it's gunfire and stay clear of the windows.

So long as it is outside, and not too close, I ignore it. If it is too close, I go into red alert.

Everywhere I've lived, it's about a 60% chance it's gunshots unless it's July 4th or Jan 1st.

Living in the UK it's usually safe to assume it's fireworks.

Where I live they sound very similar and it's neither it's very likely a street racer going down the loop at 200MPH being chased by a cop. There's so many problems with street racers where I live -_- It sounds like gun shots to drive your car at 200MPH.

No. I live in a big city where gun crime does occur, but not normally in my area. And I was taught to shoot by my grandfather when I was a child. I know the difference between gunshots and firework bangs.

As I live in a rural area they are probably gunshots If im going to mouth off to bloke with the gun Ill wait until I see him in town when he dont have the gun. One time I was down the river and some turn out was shooting in our direction it was on a ride on mower as it rode off, I run it off the road with my truck and got out and explained that wasn't the right thing to do.
