(111,237 posts)because I had a floor loom to house (now two) and needed the extra floor space that lower rent provided. When I wake up to gunshots, I roll off the bed to the floor and wait for it to stop. It's never gotten bad enough for me to crawl into the bathtub, usually the floor with the lights off will do.
My present area isn't bad, most of the shots are a street over and exchanged between carloads of gang jerks.
It sucks to wake up that way. Last one in this area was down the street, used to go out at 11:30 at night and shoot down the street. You could set your clocks by him. A ricochet took out one of the tail light lenses on my car. Eventually the cops waited for him in a dark car and nabbed him. I hope he never gets his guns back, either.
Alcohol + guns = very bad idea.
