    SEEING a gun? Uh, no. I think it would be hard to do that. Every cop has them strapped to their waist.

    Now I personally haven’t ever seen a gun get FIRED, but every 4th of July I always wonder if I’m actually hearing gunshots in the distance. People would just assume it’s fireworks. You could go on a shooting spree. As long as there’s no visual witnesses, what’s gonna happen? Even if you know the difference in sound for fact, the cops won’t take that call seriously on the 4th. They’ll just assume you’re wrong.

      Supposedly you can tell the difference between fireworks and gunshots by the echo; fireworks will be more of an echoey boom because they are up in the air.
