[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some urban areas with high crime, it is hard to distinguish fireworks from gunshots so police get fewer or erroneous reports of gunfire. [/quote] When I moved to Columbia Heights in 1995, one of the first things I learned was how to distinguish the sound of a gunshot from fireworks. [/quote] I'm calling bullshit on this. What, you took a lesson? I've lived in urban areas my entire life and while I generally think I can tell, I can't always tell. I'm sure there are others that lack your omniscient ability to know one from the other...especially given how many different types of gunshots and gunfire sounds there are. [/quote] Agree. I've lived in DC for 30+ years and I can tell most of the time - but not all of time. Same with car backfiring and other random sounds. This is what living in the city is, noise - loud noise. I hate gunshots and I hate fireworks. I also hate sirens....but I love living in the city, so I put up with it. I also put up with people bitching about the same crap year after year after year after year........[/quote]
