Yep. It could be firecrackers, but I think I can tell the difference between the pace of a string of crackers and a handgun or shotgun.

I opened the door for about a minute to listen at midnight last night, and stopped counting at 30 shots.

The bullets in my house actually date from a July 4th weekend, another occasion for the stupids to play. One missed my mother-in-law by 4 feet, the others are still in the wall or roof. I've read that many cops park their cars under bridges at midnight, they hear so many shots. Some cities are investing in shot-locating sound devices, I hope they can get better at it.
