Kind of funny when those same cities won’t prosecute, because there is no money to extort from gang bangers. Might as well do away with the kabuki theater.

I’ve had the sheriffs deputies show up while we are out shooting. I guess there are a lot of city people that move out to the country, then call to complain, not realizing that we shoot a lot out in the free world.

If you can’t hear your TV over my 50 cal, maybe you should be doing something productive during the day instead.

ShotSpotter has attracted a lot of press and plenty of criticism for the gunfire detection service they provide to many law enforcement agencies in the US. The system involves installing acoustic sensors throughout a city, which use some sort of signature matching to detect gunfire and then use time of flight to determine the likely source.
