I usually always have a gun on me, whether out and about or at home. Well tonight, for whatever reason, when I went to take my dog out, I didn't have it on me. I walk out of the front door with my Beagle only to discover some fucking POS rooting around through my wife's car. Needless to say, the asshole ran off in the dark of night, but it could have been a lot worse had he decided to draw on me. Thankfully, that didn't happen. Thankfully, we don't believe he stole anything.





Always carry......

We had just moved in to Colorado Springs, my wife didn't like to lock up her car. I went outside to throw some recycling away in the bin that was already at the curbside. The floodlights were off and I ran into a guy rooting through her car. Dude ran off, but I was unarmed and it could have gone in an entirely different direction.

BTW, did I ever tell you how much I love you?

I've been somewhat lax in carrying lately.  It just seems like I'm hardly ever anywhere but home and work or in my car.  I have guns in all 3 of those places.  I need to get back to carrying all the time though.

Something similar happened to my parents back when I was in college. They don't have guns. Anyway, dog going nuts and wouldn't shut up although the everything seems OK. Stepdad looks out the window and sees nothing. Then the parking lights in his car came on. Called the police and an officer shows up to interrupt some dude trying to steal their car. Fight in the driveway and cop ends up arresting him. They find a realistic looking BB gun under the car the next day. That's a good way to get shot. Either by the homeowner or cop. Fortunately for him he didn't get ventilated.

Living in Austin, TX in a duplex I was reloading some ammo one night in the garage  and heard car door open and then shut awhile later. Neighbors had weird hours, so figured it was them.

Next morning found truck was broken into. I came real close to looking out window to make sure it was the neighbors. If I did I would have seen the asshole in my truck. Would have had my AR15 with me too.

Western PA, Beaver County.



To answer the question above, "If you had a gun, what would you have done differently?" Well, I don't know if he was armed or not. So the fact that I was unarmed and surprised him could have turned out very badly. If I had a gun, I would have drawn on him and held him there till the cops showed up. Would I have shot him if he ran? No, absolutely not. But the guy doesn't know that.

I try to keep anything I value locked up within my house for this reason.  My wife is bad about this but I remember my wife's sister visiting and she had the front door wide fucking open while she was playing with my kids out back.  Anyone could have just walked on in since no one was inside.  I came home for lunch to find it this way.

Are you sure about that? The police came out and had a neighborhood watch meeting where they told us all that shooting someone in your home or driveway when they're breaking into your car or shining a light in your car windows was a one way ticket to jail - unless they were armed and were about to kill you and you're in fear for your life.
