I live on 10 acres with few neighbors what most consider out in the sticks. 4 of us have 10-20 acres in an L shape and are surrounded by a few miles of pasture land.
About 3 weeks ago my wife and I were on the porch listening to music and talking after midnight. I am generally a soft spoken person so for her to hear me the music wasn't loud.
Around 1:30am I hear several shots then a while later several more. I assumed something needed to be shot and didn't think twice about it. Until the next morning when I get a voice message from my landlord telling me how bob was calling him and cussing him at 2 in the morning then hung up on him.
I took that to mean those shots were his way of expressing his displeasure and were meant for my attention.
I still have not spoken with him about it.
Fast foward to right now......
We share a driveway and tonite as he passed my house on his cycle his motor was surging, I assumed he was having problems. Nope he was kinda reving his motor on the way by to disturb me I guess when he got home he reved the hell out of it for quite some time. Then he promtly fires a round here and there and turns up his music. Now I know that with the nite sounds a radio full blast is very faint so we couldn't have disturbed him thanx to his stereo tonite. I also now know he has a revolver. Unless someone knows of a large caliber handgun with a 6 round mag.
I don't care about the music, the bike or the shooting, but i don't know which way he's shooting. I know know that this is directed towards me which is why i'm a little worried about the gunfire. I'm kinda thinking i'll just sit quiet and let him throw his temper tantrum, or is it worth calling the sheriff and filing a report. I really don't want any big hassel. For all I know he's having a bad month and shoots to vent.
He hasn't done anything towards me bodily yet, i'm assuming he's shooting the other way. I haven't heard any zingers yet.
Do ya'll think i'm being too forgiving?
As a side note, the first occasion I got to meet my new neighbors. They wanted to know what the heck was getting shot at so much so late. Hadn't heard our music but were concerned over his shots.
