Here in Myrtle Beach on New Year's Eve I like to out on the front stoop about 10 minutes before midnight and listen to the fireworks and gunfire.
You can tell the gunfire it sounds like "bang, bang, bang, bang" in rapid succession as someone empties an 8 or 10 round magazine.
And it comes from all directions too!
Does this happen in your area too?


(Uhmmmm....no).

I was outside with the door open and about a half mile away there was a nice fireworks display too! Then more and more still.
Man, with all that gun fire I can just imagine how many gunowners like me *didn't* fire their guns off.
And that's just in about a one mile radius.
That's why anyone would be crazy to try and invade this country!
We DO love our guns!

I put him in the front bedroom where he likes to sit on the window sill with the window open.

Actually I heard a lot of racket.
Not sure if it was gunfire or fireworks, probably both.
It was off and on for about 20 minutes.
