Question

What would you do if you heard gunshots out side your home?

Answer 1

Dial 911, the police will be there in a flash.

Get my .357 out and wait for them to come on in.  

Answer 3

Hope I was wearing clean underwear and my brown pants!

Answer 4

I would call the police...duh.  

Answer 5

Lock the doors, grab my old baseball bat, and call the police.

I'd grab a gun, but I don't own one.

Answer 6

Look out the window.

Who could help it?

Answer 7

I have heard gunshots outside my home before. I grew up really close to the ghetto, so this happened on more than one occasion. I think when I heard the shots they were still pretty far away so all I did was hide under my bed. My ma had an alarm system though, so I was hardly worried about anyone breaking in and shooting us.  

Answer 8

Depends. If it was a rifle I would think illegal hunting,hand gun I might peek out a window with the phone in my hand..

   If I heard alot of screaming with the gunshot then 911....

Answer 9

Dial 911.

Answer 10

Look out the window to see if anyone was hurt. The I'd wait until I was sure it was safe and walk outside to check for anyone who might be injured. If I didn't see anything, I'd go back in and go to sleep. If I did see someone who needed help, I'd call an ambulance and stay with them till it arrived.

Why is this question in Woman's Studies?

Answer 11

I would probably not know they were gunshots but would think it was a car backfiring or something else...I am more worried about fires set in the canyon by illegal workers than gunshots...

Answer 12

lock all the doors and windows then jump under the bed and hide

Answer 13

Freak the f*ck out...load the shotgun, shut off the lights, look outside and call da police.  Sooner or later it will happen in my neighborhood, which is changing fast.  

Answer 14

Make sure my doors are locked. Call the cops and peek out the window to see if I can tell them what is going on.

I live in a city not too far from campus. If gunshots are going off something bad is going down.

Oh and I would get my gun and tell my roommates to hide if they couldn't make themselves useful.

If by some chance they decided to break into my place I would not be going down without a fight.

Answer 15

Stuff the 60 round clip of Israeli Arms Armor Piercing  in the Mini 30 , make sue the battery in the laser sight is strong and go see what's up.

But hey, that's just me.

Answer 16

If? You mean when. I peak outside to make sure there are no dead bodies laying within eyesight, and make sure the blinds are closed. Sometimes I sleep right through them.

I live in the ghetto, so gunshots are usually an every Saturday morning at 3:30 a.m. occurrence.  

Answer 17

Go get my .45, load it and go see whats up.

Answer 18

Send my mother-in-law out to investigate

1. Get my (great uncle's WW2 issue) M1911A1 .45-ACP out of the night stand (No trigger lock).

10.  Fill out police reports and clean carpets.

There are no wussies living in my house!

Answer 20

Hey, I'm with Ryde, Sax, Chesty, Jon, and Katherine...

as long as they stay outside, I'll call the cops and they can do what they do.

If they're bold enough to come in, I'm gonna lay 'em down.

I did live in a really ghetto neighborhood one time though, so that was an everyday thing there.  

Answer 21

I would say "it's about bloody time something exciting happened around here!"

I would then proceed to load my pump action shot gun and Beretta. Then I would run outside screaming something like "LET'S PARTY"...or something I've always wanted to say like "I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ***...and I'm all out of bubble gum."
