"....shooting a gun or petting the cat ...."
Go with the latter. Either of those doesn't draw unnecessary attention to the following listening session. Both could be done during, but there's gonna be a break in there at some point for the one...;)
The former lends itself to metal music played loud because one's ears could still be ringing. But that tends to overly excite the gendarmes who tend to show up after gunfire. Some overstimulation for some social groups isn't a good thing....they want to compete with bull horns, sirens, all that police stuff...
A real buzz kill....*smirk*
