As a lot of you know I live in Austin Texas, the state capital and one of the biggest cities in the country (ranks #11) It's not a safe city but I live outside city limits and in a good part of town not to mention in a gated apartment complex.
My bedroom is up against the staircase to the second floor and my bed is against that wall. At about 0125 a gunshot rang out on the staircase, something fell down the stairs, someone ran down the stairs after, and ran to a car before driving away very fast.
It so happens that my 6'4" paramedic husband is on a 48 hour shift and I'm home with the baby and the dog alone. I called the cops and they found the casing I heard him say it was a .38. There was no blood or body so they have no idea what was being shot at.
Now I'm wide awake, scared of my own front door, and wishing my gun wasn't in my truck. Granted I wouldn't need it cause I'm not going outside anytime soon and anyone coming in would need to get past an extremely protective 75lb husky but I feel rather defenseless right now. I hate living in a big city.
Sorry I just needed to get this all out so I could possibly get some sleep before needing to be up for work in 3.5 hours.
