Gunshots in Okemos
« on: September 04, 2015, 09:02:57 PM »
I'm sitting outside on my front porch, 9:00 PM, and there are gunshots going off VERY near my house.  This should be interesting.

Bang...bang..............bang, bang, bang, bang.............bang...bang...

Well, it's fireworks.  But it sounded like a gun.  I only say fireworks now because there's smaller ones in rapid succession and I can tell those are firecrackers.

Hmmm, sounds like when I lived on the south side of Grand Rapids!   :-X

They were going off earlier here too.  Welcome to the holiday weekend + new fireworks laws

Well, I know what gunshots in my neighborhood sound like.  I probably shouldn't say how I know, though.

But I thought it was Okesnooty, not the south side ;)

I couldn't possibly comment.  I did reach down and touch my K40, though.

About three weeks ago, my neighbor set off a mortar across the road while I was outside.  I cleared the cover garment, spun, and had a grip on my pistol when the shell exploded.  The wife laughed, I laughed.  Good times.

I've come to expect it around holidays, but some of those mortars sound like 12 gauge shotguns.

A couple of guys with little regard for the  concept of 'equal and opposite reaction' managed to kill themselves by firing those mortars off their heads.

What happened to your pea shooter?

Still got it.  But I just had my K40 in my pocket with the grip sticking out, sitting in a chair with my laptop.

Is that what they call the "Plaxico Carry" method?

EDIT: oops, it turns out Plax said he was using "Mexican Carry" not pocket carry when he felt it slide down his pants and he hit the trigger when he grabbed for it.
