Peaceful Southern Nights

Once more, the hills of Kentucky reverberated with the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night. Well, 11pm to be precise. It leaves one wondering whether or not they should be concerned or not. Is it someone shooting nuisance dogs, coon hunters, or someone taking care of their ex. One never knows. Last night wasn't too bad, just 2 shots in quick succession, it's the nights where someone empties the magazine from a high capacity firearm as quickly as they can work the trigger that make you think.

Of course calling the cops is kind of useless in this case. You can't really tell where the gunfire is from. When you're in your house, with the windows shut and the air conditioning on, the best you can do is say something like; "this many shots, about a quarter to half a mile, that general direction, sounded like this type of weapon". That's really not going to help anyone.
