I associate it with any holiday that also has fireworks and professional sports victories. I guess there is more that joins us than separates us when it comes to irresponsible firearm usage.
I used to live in both too and I heard it a lot in Houston during the holidays and when the Astros won the world series. I heard random gunfire so much in New Orleans I stopped calling the cops. One time I saw a guy shoot at a group outside a bar I was working at and the cops didn’t come for like 40 minutes. No one was hit but if they would have stopped and talked to us we could have told them who it was. Things were wild there for a few years after Katrina compared to before.
Houston, New Orleans, SWLA. I never heard it in the other 5 states I’ve stayed in but I try to live rurally when my situation permits so I can’t speak to the large cities of those other states.

Is that in Texas? I’ve never heard of it anywhere else in the US.
I used to live in Texas. Very, VERY rare to hear celebratory gunfire. I also live in New Orleans, and it was very common there.

I lived in Austin, so different crowd. Houston was West Louisiana anyways, especially after Katrina.
Yeah, they are still complaining about it over there.
Lol I’m going to Houston for the first time tomorrow
Houston is a big place. The vast majority of it is safe and some of it is pleasant.
Common in North Carolina New Years.

Where do you live??
Mostly the United States South but long stretches out west and up north too.
Guns at events is something I associate with more rural or impoverished areas thats why I was asking
I think impoverished would be the common thread in my experience
Gotcha
