Hellobee Boards

I heard them alot growing up, I'd always assume it was someone hunting since we lived out in the middle of nowhere.

If it was obviously not hunting-related, I'd run to the nearest obstruction (wall, building, car, etc.) and try to figure out the safest place to go.

I've always heard its hard to hit a moving target, so my first instinct would be to run.

I'd duck!

There's so much hunting around here that if I'm outside I rarely think anything of it. If I were in a building though, I'd drop to the floor and army crawl to the nearest place to hide.

We live in TX in the burbs, not too far from fields, lakes and a state park...so when I hear a gunshot, I just figure there are bored rednecks nearby and carry on w/business. If I were at my parents house in the city I don't think I'd do anything, either--I've never heard a gunshot and actually been scared! Maybe it's a non-inner city Texas thing.

I'd probably think it's a car backfiring or fireworks going off! Unless I was inside a mall or some big building where those sounds wouldn't really be heard, my mind just wouldn't assume gun! I've lived such a sheltered life...

We have a outdoor gun range about a mile from the house, so we're pretty used to hearing gunshots. But, if we were away from the house and I heard it, I know I should get low, but I would probably freeze in place out of fear..
