Default Gun discharged inside car right behind me
Happened 10 minutes ago. As I'm driving to the airport to pick up my wife, I'm stopped at a red light. I look up to my rearview mirror and I see a flash of light and hear a loud bang. The dogs are with me and they jump from the pop. A gun was absolutely discharged. I'm not sure if it was discharged at the car next to the car behind me, or just an accident. As soon as we get the green light the car behind me veers to the right and onto a side street. Could not call the cops because I could not see the make and model of the car behind me. Nor did I care I just wanted to put distance between me and the cars behind me. Very bizarre the whole thing.

Best thing to do is get space in between you. Glad it wasn't pointed in your direction. Glad you are safe!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Thank you guys, seriously glad the round didn't sail in my direction.

Nothing on them news. It was a single gun shot, no screaming from anywhere. I'm convinced some wannabe thug negligently discharged the gun inside car. If so, they're not gonna call the cops, I'll tell you that much.

Did your hand slap hip and did you go into full alert?

I did go into full alert knowing that having to draw my gun could be a possibility, but my focus was on driving away from the cars behind me. I did not know if a gunfight would erupt behind me. I always leave myself enough room to maneuver I'm so I did. Everyone else was just stuck there.
