Someone is shooting a gun outside of my flat. My situational awareness tells me it is better to post an animated gif than peek out the window.

Payne you have hit upon the dynamics of fluid hot situations. SO many variables, so many things in flux there is NO WAY to say one way or the other things would or would not happen.
You have mentioned one very definite possibility.

It certainly hasn't been "proven" that having a gun wouldn't have increased their chances any more than pointing to a dead guy in a seat belt "proves" that a seat belt wouldn't have improved the chances of the dead guys who weren't wearing one. But don't worry; I only chase RS down because he seems intellectually honest and capable of engaging in rational discussion. You're safe.

(Which you got early on by the way.) I would always prefer the slim odds to having no chance. It also depends upon the skill of the armed people. Simply HAVING the gun does not automatically give the same odds across the spectrum.

It was loud whatever it was, but it was only a couple of shots. It may be an Eid; I only keep track of the big ones.
