Daughter and LEO son-in-law live on the border of Detroit - about 200ft away. (I live about a mile deeper into the neighborhood) On New Years eve it sounded like a war in Detroit. Non stop gun shots (we know what semi automatic gun shots sound like as opposed to firecrackers - trust me) for hours. The gun shots rang out like we've never heard before and we've lived here for about 25 years. My daughter texts this picture today of her neighbors Jeep door beltline. She said "you always said the bullets shot in Detroit have to come down somewhere"

Time to move. OUT. I always wondered why people lived in "the sticks". NOW I KNOW WHY smile

We're rural and on New Years Eve you can always hear some fool shooting off guns at midnight. realcrazy

At least they're less likely to hit someone or something out here.

It's always been a stupid idea to fire off a gun then.
Fireworks are one thing, something that shoots a projectile (bullet) is a very stupid idea.
The bullet is coming down somewhere when you point the gun up to fire it.

True story:
Driving down the 880 (aka 17) freeway through Oakland in the '90s, I hear something hit the windshield.
Looking down at the wipers, a bullet is visible sitting on the driver's side wiper blade.
Unfortunately it rolled off, or I'd have saved it for my trophy case.

If you have to be stupid and shoot why not into the ground?

I always wondered why people lived in "the sticks".

Bigger bullets that go further, just fewer. Some places in the sticks sound like a war zone on the weekends, not around me but some its mostly auto fire.


What can ya do?

Couple years after I bought my house it developed a roof leak after New Year's. Got a roofer to check it and there was a bullet hole. It has been pretty quiet for the last few years, but this year it sounded like a war zone again.

Whenever I worked in Chicago inspecting roofs after wind and hail storms I always found a large number of bullets. Of all the cities I worked Chicago was the only place I found bullets stuck in roofs.


Ok

A neighbor around the corner was killed that way. He was from south of the border and they have a ritual that includes shooting guns in the air at New Years eve. He found out the hard way that they do come down, went right through his hat and skull... pity

I came on to share a story just like this.

A guy I know who operated a small roofing company bid and won a large job in Detroit doing roofs on a bunch of apartments/housing complexes. took him most of the summer to do the work.

When they were doing the tear offs, they noticed bullets stuck in the roofs on several of the buildings that they did. Some had several bullets in them.

He said it was scary working over there to say the least.

My father In-law always fired his gun at midnight on New Years. My wife always called her parents at midnight to wish them Happy New Year. One year in the early 70s she couldn’t get through to them at midnight or the next day. He hit the phone wire between the pole and the house.

I found a 38 slug in a roof on a rental unit. There are idiots who don’t care living all over the world. The problem is pretty simple, really. Man cares only about himself.

I never understood why everyone wants to shoot at new years. 1 its a waste of ammo, 2 its not that safe and 3 a lot of people are usually boozed up so it's even dumber. If you do shoot, at least shoot a shotgun, shooting single projectile in the air is just STUPID and irresponsible. I didn't hear that much shooting this year but I live in a pretty rural area. With as hard as it is to find ammo these days and the price of it, I surely wouldn't be wasting bullets shooting just for the heck of it.

When I was in collage, I would worked doing industrial roofing jobs in the summer. Many of these jobs were in and around Detroit. You would not believe the large caliber rounds we found on the roofs of these buildings. Some were military size - nobody is hunting deer in Detroit.


I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.
