Thank you Hector and Carlos for the information. I had completely forgotten, if I ever knew, of this tradition. I will, however, ring a bell a noon (MDT) today.
The cops have to play by the rules. Video everything you can and keep a log of incidents. When you talk to the cops, record the date, time, what happened and get the officer’s names. You might get enough data to give to your local TV investigative reporter.
Actually it was John Adams who said that bells would ring and fireworks set off on July 2 – yes July 2, the day the Declaration was passed in Congress. July 4 was the ceremonial signature of John Hancock. The other members (and John Hancock again) signed the formal copy in August over several days.

At 2:00 p. m. I dingled on an Old-Fashioned-type glass with a heavy spoon. Worked fine.

Guns can be fired blank – no bullet to come down.
