Yup, and I always shove 'er in neutral and coast that last bit to the house.
(this is all lost on anybody but you an' me, trlsmn.)
Now, having said that, I believe you can see my point that bullets striking houses are not a real regular happening thing. Cars striking houses (and hurting people) are a real happening thing. And I guess I left out the central question for comparison: Are you afraid of every car you hear driving by? You have much more reason to be.
If one bullet of that heard volley (giving the benefit of the teller's evaluation that they were gunshots) hit my house, I would certainly take some action and not assume the rest would not be coming my way. This takes me out of Garp's philosophy, but not where coasting the rig to home is concerned.
