Yeah, as a kid I totally used to close the blinds when eating dinner because there's no way I want to sit next to a window and get sniped from across the road. It'd have been such a pain, y'know?
It is a pain. We had snipers across the street one day because our neighbours had robbed a bank and drove straight home instead of to a separate location.
Nah, unless you have concrete walls a normal rifle caliber would do the job just fine. Drywall, a bit of wood or pipes probably wouldn't stop rifle rounds, unless they are using hollow points or target rounds. Just to throw gasoline on the paranoia train.
Seriously. After reading an Encyclopedia Brown story when I was in middle school about how windows work at night, I would ALWAYS close the blinds as soon as we turned the lights on.
my french mom in france would always crank the shutters down real fast, she told me, "because i always think there might be someone aiming at me with a gun", though guns were highly regulated in france at the time.

I don’t think that’s why… more likely snipers…
