Shots in the night

This morning I woke around 2am and while lying there, from somewhere outside I heard...

Pop!

Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop!

And I thought to myself, and rather casually I might add, "semi-auto, probably a 9mm."

For a little while I contemplated calling 911, but what would I tell them?

"Shots fired. 9mm pistol. Somewhere within a block of 123 Main St." Not exactly helpful.

If anything it would bring squad cars with wailing sirens waking up the neighborhood, and maybe we'd even get a helicopter flying around overhead for half-an-hour. I'm sure the neighbors would appreciate that at 2:30 in the morning.

Nope, I thought to myself, if anyone is calling in the local PD it will have to be someone who heard gunfire right outside their window, and as that wasn't me I rolled over, snuggled back up under the blankets, and went back to sleep.

Early this morning I heard gunfire in my neighborhood, and I rolled over and went back to sleep. I don't think there's much 'country' left in this Country Boy.
