Alright it's now 11:00 pm eastern, and I've heard about 5 or 6 really loud pops. Almost like gunfire. It all sounded really close. Almost like my windows were opened that's how loud it was. This is getting serious and this isn't cool. I kinda am getting scared. And the anxiety will now not let me sleep tonight. Yay Syracuse!

Put a knife under your pillow. It will be there to help you protect yourself should a need arise, plus it makes you feel badass.

Fire crackers? They're louder than a 9mm (at least an M9 or USP9)

I move around a lot in my sleep so probably not the best idea.

Well we're one of the nicer areas by Syracuse University housing so stuff usually doesn't happen. It's slowly coming this way though.

Ya, Probably not. I move around alot too, once I went to bed with my head near the headboard and woke up with my head near the foot of the bed. Its like I was doing cartwheels in my sleep or something.

I always end up diagonally across the bed with most blankets and pillows on the floor.

Ya, my pillows end up on the floor too. I'm actually missing a pillow case, I think I took my pillow out of it one night and threw it across the room.

If you stay in the good neighborhoods it's good. Southside and west sides you will be killed. I'm in a good area with college housing. DOn't go there but live near it.

It's labor day weekend. We get kids popping fireworks every night this weekend.

it'll be fine man.
The only time I've had a weapon pointed at me was at a gated community golf course. Me and 2 uncles ( equals 3 mexicans lol) had to walk to a building to check the A/C on the other side of a rec room and 4 dudes in a Yukon Denali (well dressed) pointed M4's at us and asked what we were doing. We showed them our clearance tags.
But here in my hood, we hear gun fire starting tonight all through the weekend. Usually folliwed by vehicles hauling ass.
You'll be fine though buddy. Could have been a car back firing or a tire popping

Ever sleep on the floor for safety?

Firecrackers are more of a crack, gunfire is more of a pop (generally). Guns never sound in real life like they do in the movies. If you're truly concerned, sleep on the floor tonight.

You're hearing all this, have you called 911? At the very least, they should tell you if there is police activity in your area.

Keep away from exterior walls and try and get some rest. Take care fella and be safe.

I honestly here so many noises like that I don't really know anymore. I think it was probably firecrackers as I think is was a bang and not really a pop. Unless it wasn't a hand gun but most people don't walk around with large guns.

Yeah, I'd really like to write a textbook or go into research. A lot tougher to get into than teaching jobs, but I want to keep moving upward.

Head over to YouTube and listen to some videos of people shooting handguns at a range. It's really a distinctive sound. Are firecrackers legal where you are? If not, call the police. Hell, if you think you hear gunfire, call the police. Put your tax dollars to work. Many years ago, when I was living in Houston, some kids thought it would be fun to go into the field by my condo and fire off a shotgun. I called the cops in a New York minute and they responded very quickly. I talked to the responding officer and he said it was like a war zone with all the people firing off their guns at midnight. Those bullets have to come back down.

I want to be an engineer and then I'm probably going to get my masters in Automotive Engineering if I can find somewhere that has it as a Masters program..

That's awesome. We need as many as we can get. Cars are my freedom and release from all the pressure of teaching. One of my students got an internship at a tuning shop for his senior year and he wants to go a similar route to you. I don't know if I have many happier students. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks. My plan is to work in either motorsports or somewhere in the auto industry.

Somebody got murdered just down the street from me a couple months ago, apparently there was a good amount of shooting but luckily I was at work and my entire street was barricaded.

I always end up at some wretched angle with my head right in the middle of the bed.
