It’d have to be a HUGE island.
Australia comes to mind, but those blokes down under don’t deserve that hassle!
Well, 3 hrs to go here in AZ

If I had to bet on this topic I would wager that all the celebratory gunfire this past New Tears Eve was below the average, normal levels. Due to ammunition cost and availability issues.

In actuality, not. That was why I started the thread. No guessing about fireworks vs guns this year. Seemingly inexhaustable supply of pistol, and shotgun ammo. Nearer 12AM the aerial bombs came out to play, but from 9-1130 PM, mostly firearm stuff. Where'd it come from?

At least one person gone due to an idiot that will likely never be found out.

I heard gunshots, I heard fireworks, and the idiots kept it up until after midnight the FOLLOWING day. Nobody got hurt, that I know of.

I was asleep by 11. Didn't hear a thing. My is a lighter sleeper than me and was complaining about all the gunfire and fireworks the next morning. She said she thought people would never quit and go to bed.

Although I don't think we've ever heard much "celebratory" gunfire around here, the neighbors down the road shoot off fireworks on the 4th of July and New Year's Eve. That, and the thunderstorms used to upset our cocker spaniel, Ruger pretty bad - he would usually go hide in the bathtub.
Ruger is almost 14 and deaf now though. He doesn't even hear fireworks or thunder.
I guess Ruger's deafness could be called a "mixed blessing" in some ways. But I'd sure rather be startled by Ruger's yelling every time a strange vehicle pulls in the driveway than seeing him sleep through the neighbor's fireworks displays.

Stupid people with guns doing stupid things in not really a topic for us. As I've said before, just owning a firearm does not make someone our friend.
