This is terrifying.

I'm at my sister's house south of Atlanta and the gunshots outside have been non-stop for the last 10 minutes. If one of these stupid fuckers don't kill us all I'll have started 2014 with a miracle.

1. A few years back I heard automatic gunfire two apartments over from mine.

It was like Beirut for a good thirty seconds out there. Assfucks.

2. Yee haw. Duck and cover.

In Norcross they don't even bother shooting up in the air. Glad I left.

5. I've been coming here every New Year for 32 yrs

This is the first time we've had this. My grandneice is in the bedroom closet crying. Cops were called. What in the fucking blue hell is wrong with people

9. I'm in Woodstock, GA,

and the gun shots and fireworks are still popping at 12:30 a.m.

3. Ha. Savannah sounds like fourth of July, too.

Mostly shotguns with birdshot I think so nothing to worry about.

4. We moved from the suburbs to the country. I hear it all the time now.

I can't wait to move back to the suburbs.

6. Happy New Year, I hope

7. You think that's bad?

I'm out here on the West Coast (only a little after 9 pm) and they are doing the same thing outside my house!

Trigger-happy doesn't even describe it, celebrating three hours early with their gun blasts.

8. Gunfire and Gentrification

I bought a house and vacant lots in Houston's Third Ward in 1987. The first New Year's Eve, there was twenty minutes of heavy gunfire followed by forty minutes of sirens from ambulances going to the Texas Med Center. By the time I left in 2005, the neighborhood was then known as the Museum District and there was only five minutes of gunfire and no sirens - a vast improvement. I will never forget my cat trying to run under the bed when there were gun shots. That didn't work out too well since my bed was a mattress on the floor. But he tried real hard to get under it.

11. At my home in a small town in north Florida I only heard a couple of fools empty their ...

revolvers into the air and one rifle and perhaps one shotgun.

Normally I hear far more gunfire. Perhaps everybody here is too broke to waste ammo or it's too hard to find at the store.

July 4th was also more quiet than in previous years. Fewer people set off fireworks on both holidays.

12. You'll be just fine.

The stress you're feeling is more likely to harm you than the bullets.

13. I live in the country in SD Black Hills

No gun shots here.

Somewhere......

15. Usually, there's a lot of gunfire at midnight here in my St. Paul, MN

neighborhood. This year, nothing. It was 6 degrees below zero at midnight. Even fools stay indoors.
