Anybody else have neighbors who like to play with guns? [View all]

Just wondering because I live in an area where people are allowed to shoot on their property. I periodically hear the gunfire, often for holidays and sometimes randomly during the day, like right now or late in the evening. I often wonder if they are killing off a local deer or other wildlife or maybe practicing for their militia or trying to intimidate their neighbors. It could be totally harmless other than the possibility of accidentally missing your target...

For all I know they are prepping to defend themselves from the blue or possibly red enemy. I honestly don't know most of my neighbors. I do find it disturbing when I hear the shooting though, and I do live in a heavily red area.

So I just wonder if anyone else has this going on in their neighborhoods? Where I grew up no one I knew owned a gun.
