Gunshot outside my apartment

[Antares]

I'm glad that you and your family are okay.

Dude once again I.Don't.Pay.Attention.To.Things.That.Aren't.Mine.

That's one thing I CAN relate to!

I can't relate to gunshots though. Worst I've heard is people fighting and screaming and shouting abuse at each other and then saying stuff like "I'm sorry I punched you" and "Aww I'm sorry I hit you too" and making up.... as if nothing crazy just fucking happened.... as if violence and screaming is all normal and routine. That happened on the street I live in a few years ago, and even THAT freaked me out and felt crazy to me. I can't imagine how scared I'd be if I heard a gunshot.

And the fact you're in a nice area of your city too.... and yet this still happened.... it's rather depressing And very scary. I hope they catch the guy soon and hopefully this is just an anomaly and not something that normally happens in your neighborhood.

Hugs. Please give me any updates on your situation

Although you'll probably use this thread for that, lol. Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

Also... Brian... let's not make this into a gun control thread.... there are enough gun control threads. Mooney is my friend and she's stressed out because this has happened to her... and that's what this thread is about.

Thank you for that. I know my personal little Smith & Wesson Bodyguard uses .38 Special so that's nice to know regardless of what happened. I've shot it lots of times but never tested how deep it can go.

Thank you darlin

How are you holding up tonight?

I was ok. After the idea of the suitcase was said I thought that it seemed like the best explanation. The reason they ran is most likely they either shouldn't have had a gun or were illegal aliens and didn't want to get caught. So I thank you Gawdzilla Sama for that bit of logical thinking. It being a fluke accident means the chances of it happening again are minimal which makes me feel better.

Still I haven't heard from the complex or the police but I felt ok to leave my back door open for the breeze since my husky wouldn't let anyone in the yard no matter what and my apartment is so tiny I can see the door from the entire house. I did bring in my gun but once I put it on my headboard I haven't touched it since. Debating about putting it back in my truck since my husband will be home tonight.

I really appreciate y'all letting me talk this out somewhere trusted and giving me ideas. It's helped calm me down and feel better about continuing to live here.

I hear gun shots on a monthly basis. And two gang murders within a block of my apartment within the last 12 months. It really messes up traffic.
