What should I do? URGENT!!

[Mohksha]

I lived in Phoenix in Glendale as a kid, and I wasn't allowed to have my bed by the window because almost every other night there were gun shots in the parking lot outside. Just don't worry about it. Stay away from the window, lock your doors, and mind your own business. It stinks that the smart thing to do is hide, but odds are someone else has already called and the police are on their way.

But if nobody calls 911 because they think "the other" neighbor will do it, then what?
I ask in seriousness because I've never lived in a place where gun shots or sirens are commonplace.:wtf:

Shit Tootsie, me either (the country doesn't count, we were usually shooting at innocent woodland creatures and whatnot-not people)...but apparently my nice new apartment complex is right next to the 'hood or something....I knew there was a reason why they gave me an apartment with a waterfall....

i suppose you could do what i've always done - sit down outside the front door, light up a joint and wait to see what happens next. i'm slightly self-destructive and mildly curious so this course of action probably isn't for everyone, but it hasn't gotten me killed yet.
:S5:

looks like im late but I say unless their shooting at you, or someone you know, or some kids then who cares, unless asked for help. Call the cops if it makes you feel better but more important take out the steel and get ready to send some lead if needed. And of coars common sense applies dont stick your head out and watch your exit/entry points and utilize cover. Right now it sounds like a war is goning on here but that is just casue I live next to the Balloon Fiesta and their blasting cannons and fireworks.

I have actualy done stupid shit like this, one time I saw a shoot out between to guys and they were laughing and spraying 9mm automatic fire all around eachother and all around us. They were stalking eachother and when they would find eachother one of em would take off running doging bullets and it would start off all over again. In the end no one was shot and the appartments were riddeled with holes, and those two dude were still laughing, we were about to start shooting too but the whole time we heard sirens like next door

I think the advice to do nothing is absurd. Even if officers simply come and make themselves visible, that might save other people from stray bullets or save someone in the immediate situation where there's a shooter.

I don't live in a place where we hear gunshots, either. But if I ever hear seven shots anyplace near me, I'm going to get low to the ground, away from windows, and call 911 just so a police presence might patrol more closely, if nothing else. The next day, I'd check out the Kevlar offerings at my nearest Wal-Mart and start looking into other addresses, too.

wtf? Your supposed to laugh when your shooting nerf gun bullets... not real ones. So one part of the guy was high do to the laughter but the other part was a gangster. Those mixed conclude to situations like these, laughing while try to "pop caps" in the other.

haha yeah it was just another Sunday here, I think it all started from quarters- the old cuban game, kinda like marbels, with high stakes betting

i think you'll find that walmart doesn't have much to offer. k-mart, however, has a wide assortment of kevlar casual wear and even some armored formal attire. also, this coming spring victoria's secret is coming out with a line of provocative ballistic nylon undergarments you might want to look into.
