The following incidents occurred w/i easy driving distance of my home just in the last day. Note that I live in a semi-rural (horses, riding trails, orchard farms, etc.) suburb generally considered safe.

I heard this commotion while watching a movie. Thought it was the movie sounds at first, then charged my handgun.

Google "shooting northwest las vegas" for 14 March 2017 for updated info. Police response available on video from local TV stations.

I was feeling guilty for spending scarce resources on firearms & shooting club memberships. Today it feels like common sense.
