Anybody hearing the machine gun fire East Pt. Washington Rd. area?

What the heck!

There is a LOT of it- sounded like it was coming from more east direction, now sounding like out over the bay a bit. Why does anybody have a freakin' machine gun?

Machine guns give a whole new dimension to squirrel hunting.

We hear plenty of shotguns around here. But I totally missed the machine gun. Thankfully. I would have called the police.

Apparently it was some sort of military training on the bay. That's not a sound you expect to hear on a quiet Sunday afternoon!

That is the new way to fish. At least you don't have to worry about what bait they are hitting on!!

Navy. Shooting blanks. But it's not at all unusual to own a machine gun...and it was my father's favorite way to get people's attention back when we were the wild, wild south. (Hint: he punctured some holes in the roof of what is now the Red Bar when he was a constable responding to a riot call. The story my brothers shared said that you could have heard a pin drop when he got done. Love ya dad!)
