Well a few hours ago I was sitting in my bedroom alone watching "Black Hawk Down" ...then all of the sudden I hear a very loud alarm sound and see flashing strobes out of my window. Naturally I become a lil concerned. As Im listen I can see that its coming from an 8 story parking garage/building across the street from my apartment.

Soon multiple police and fire trucks arrive on the scene and I just figure it was some kind of false alarm...So I turn back on my nice bedtime war movie.

30 min later I hear what sounds to be 5 very loud gun shots from the same location after the police had left!!! I immediately grab my carry gun and also grabbed my home defense Springfield XD with crimson trace grip and tactical rail light just in case. I quickly make sure all doors are locked and now my addreneline was pumping...

I picked up my phone and called in what had just happened. Well 20 min later I was informed that it was just a couple of kids exploding fireworks in the parking garage.

All in all it made for an interesting experience and glad to know that if such a thing (God forbid) were to happen I would have been "ready".
