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.
In St. Louis, celebratory gunfire is common every New Years and 4th of July. So much that people die from falling bullets pretty much every time, and it also leads to a lot of property damage to roofs and whatnot.
Ive never heard it anywhere else personally, but I would imagine it happens to some extent in other large cities
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.
Common in North Carolina New Years.

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.
I lived in Austin, so different crowd. Houston was West Louisiana anyways, especially after Katrina.
Yeah, they are still complaining about it over there.
