I live in the country,so we hear shots all the time...but one night about 10pm we hear a load shot coming form our neighbor(a judge).I 'm thinking disgrunteled ex con or something..so I call his house to make sure everyting's ok....he says it was HIM trying out a new gun!Turns out he's got a range in his yard w/ flood lights.He was glad I called to check tough.I told him I'd be his back-up if he needed it.Since then he's been shooting almost every day.He's invited me to shoot,but we have different scheduals.He's retired now,and apparently spends all his pension on ammo!
"Just because I'm paranoid,doesn't mean they're NOT after me...."
I do go into the defensive mode until I have distinguished the source.
If it sounds a long way off, I am less likely to grab my gun, but there have been a few occassions where I have snatched my gun in one hand, my sweatpants in the other and litterally jumped into them as I headed out the door. I met my neighbor in the front yard one evening when the ground transformer gave us quite a start. I with my handgun, he with his shotgun.
