Reply to comment by suzer2017 in Sources: At least 6 people shot outside funeral in Pittsburgh’s Brighton Heights neighborhood by Bustalacklusta

Hearing gunshots at night used to scare me. Now I just roll back over and go back to sleep.

I hope you have brick walls, or at least an antique cast iron bathtub.

You should move.

Nah. Most of the time it’s at a distance and usually people fire into the air. Most of the time… Did you know that you will also hear gunshots out in the county? Hunting season can be pretty noisy in the right location. Statistically insignificant chance of getting hit by a stray, and not much I can do about it.

I used to live in the ghetto years ago when I was just starting out. Hearing gunshots was the last straw for me there. I got my ass in gear and got out of there as fast as I could, which wasn't as fast as I would have liked. They were not mostly shooting into the air. I've lived out in the country before (and hope to move there again) and the gun shots there never bothered me much because I knew they were from hunters or just people target shooting on their property. I'll take that any day over people shooting each other at the end of the block. Good luck and stay safe.

No worries. I’m so used to it that it doesn’t faze me. It’s so common if you live in an urban area.
