As a Chicago resident so do I. Just listen for the screams and shot reverberation off the nearby buildings. It doesn't take much practice to hone it down within 50yards or so. Don't need no app.

I've been to Chicago once (visiting a family member), it's absolutely crazy. I could never even imagine living like that. Never before in my life have I been genuinely scared that if I left the house at night, I wouldn't come back alive.

I've also been to Chicago once (going to an Anime con up there; was a meet up for AMV creators worldwide, and while I wasn't one my brother was), but it was a chill and nice experience for me. The last time I heard gunshots was actually this past new years, when my neighbor fired off like 12-15 shots during fireworks (GA, not in Atlanta but not too far either).
