We've got the I-5 freeway which is probably a mile away as the crow flies, and we have a motorcycle dirt track that's probably about that, too, maybe a little farther, and we have railroad tracks about that. During the day, we don't hardly hear any of that, but at night, or towards dusk, we'll pick it all up.
Our area isn't entirely flat, but the highway is built up on a rise so the sound carries over the top of us, and basically it's the train horn we hear when it blows, and it's not a constant noise from the track, just when they're gunning the engines faster.
Not a whole lot of gunfire here, though. That's cause for alarm. Or a car backfiring. There's also some industrial plants down the way that when they get going will create some noise.
We actually live in a rural area, though. It's just a little busy. :)
we also have a dirt track for cars and they do that 2 nights a week, we can hear them but it's not real loud, the track is probably 2 miles in another direction, not the same as the gunrange.
"Not a whole lot of gunfire here, though. That's cause for alarm."
haha! yes sir that IS cause for alarm!

Okay. Yes, it is cause for alarm that there is no gunfire here, but I also think there's a happy medium between gunfire all day every day and gunfire here and there so we're not all thinking there's a shootout going on. :)
Actually, that would require a pretty drastic change in people who live here and then gun laws. I'm pretty sure they don't allow for shooting guns in our neighborhood, but there may be nearby fields where it's fine to go hunting. Haven't really checked into that. I've been to a gun range with some friends of mine, and there wasn't that many people the time we went.
When you're walking around, there's conceal carry, no open carry. And while there will be trucks with gunracks or deer horns, or jacked up off the ground, they're not plentiful.

hey Glen, I just got this from a guy in Australia, can you tell me if this makes sense?
"I've always thought of the American Civil War, as the 2nd War of Independence, where England (The Banking Throne Of Europe, whether Europeans like it or not) reclaimed America, as its own.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this."
what would you say? I don't quite get it.

Interesting. I wonder what they teach about the Civil War in Australia that they don't teach here. :)
My guess is, there were actually European countries involved on one side or the other, be it financing weaponry or providing other types of support. Maybe he's talking about the US going into debt to fight the war and basically becoming beholden to England's central banking? I don't know. Never heard of something like that. I'll do a quick search.
Sorry not finding anything specific that would answer that, and I've never heard of such a thing. I wouldn't think England would want us back, anyway, and we owe more debt to other foreign powers than we do the UK or the EU.
Sorry not much help, but it's hard to know with that what all he might be referring to or how he came to think it. :)
