A CHANCE TO WALK the turf of the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad is in this article.
They were likely to hear a fair amount of gunfire, Sgt. Lorino told Sgts. Jaramillo and Ronneberg, but most of it is nothing to worry about. "Just about every Iraqi has a gun," Lorino said. "The Iraqis shoot [into the air] when they are happy. They shoot when they're sad. They shoot when the [electric] power comes on. They shoot when the power goes off."

Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division told their 1st Armored Division counterparts that they had never been shot at since hostilities ended, but there was a good deal of Iraqi-on-Iraqi violence.
