So I am a certified old fart now and as such I was out for my afternoon walk when I found myself in a new and interesting situation. I found myself if not directly in, very close to someone's line of fire, I could hear the gunshots closely followed by ricochets (Subsonic, either pistol or PCC). If had to guess I was less than 100-ish yards from the rounds point of impact and rather close to being directly down range from the shooters position. The problem was that I was on a bike / walking path in a "good" part of town at exactly 12 noon, not up in the mountains on the other side of a hill from a DNR shooting range.
Obviously this was a freak occurrence of me just being in the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time, but it did get me curious. I have a ring doorbell and I see all the time people posting about gunshots at various timers of day and night. Are you guys seeing a rise in gun violence or random shootings where you live or is the ghetto slowly moving in to my neighborhood? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts or personal experiences if you have a similar one. I did talk to a sheriffs deputy and they did find spent cartridges but I did not want to ask too many questions and appear suspicious.
