If it makes you feel any better, that house would sell for at least double that price where I live.

A properly setup suppressed pistol fired from within a vehicle would be fairly quiet

A Glock 17 9mm pistol is 162 db, with a suppressor it is 126 db. That’s roughly as loud as a jackhammer. Not exactly what I’d call quiet.

We all experience what our brains cobble together from some sensory inputs, saying “it wasn’t as loud as a gunshot” is, at best, a meaningless statement, and at worst, utterly idiotic.

What the hell are you talking about about? An acorn hitting a car might be 50-80 decibels; a Glock 17 9mm pistol is 162 decibels, that’s louder than a jet taking off. That is ridiculously loud, perception doesn’t factor in at that point. If you can’t tell the difference between an acorn and a gunshot then you are not properly tethered to reality.

Do you know how loud a gunshot is…? And he thought the sound of an acorn hitting the car was a shot fired by the suspect inside the car he’s standing next to? Either he’s lying or he’s remarkably stupid, either way he should not have a gun.

Oftentimes the editor writes the headline and not the author of the article. I heard several journalists irate in the past over sensationalized, misleading headlines added to articles they wrote.

Whoa! You can have any gun you want, but we draw the line at allowing logic.
