1. Sounded like a gun shot to me,
so I'll say, "gun shot!"


:hide: duck!

2. I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise
Last time a member of my family heard what sounded like a gunshot outside, it was the last victim of the Beltway Sniper - a bus driver named Conrad Johnson - being shot around the corner.

Hope it's not too bad.

Don't worry. I think I got it

6. That happened to me one time. I thought it was a gunshot and called the police. Then a neighbour
came by and said it was a transformer.

11. Well, since someone wrote on the internet that they heard a gunshot, then
it must be true. I'll alert Fox Noise.

12. If you live in my neighborhood...
it WAS a gunshot. Suffice it to say that this gun hater is thinking about getting something for some home defense. And yes, I really want to move.

18. I only steal from the best.
I have family who are avid hunters, but it's not for me.

I only like to shoot at targets, empty bottles, etc.

21. Me too
My SO hunts every year and usually gets his deer. This year, a 130lb buck on opening day. I appreciate the supplemental food it provides on our tight budget, but could never harm or kill another living thing myself, unless perhaps in self defense.

I stick to bottles, cans and skeet shooting.

19. I hear them all the time and they are gunshots. Duck hunters, deer hunters.
Sometimes things are exactly what they seem to be.

25. Well, it might have been a sample in the song itself, I admit.
