I was sitting here on the computer a few minutes ago and heard some voices outside. I jumped up, ran to the bedroom and grabbed my FiveseveN. As I round the corner into the entry way I Rack the slide click,Clack. One of the Officers (looking thought the top of my door)says "Police! you can put your gun away" So I turn around and put my gun on the kitchen counter. I then walk back to the door unlock it and open it.
Police: "Do you always answer the door with a Gun???"
Me: "I do at this time of night.........."
Police: "Do you have a permit for that?" (I must have missed the memo about now needing a permit inside my house with the doors locked)
Me: "No........ I bought it legally, and am not carrying it on my person in public so I do not need one. I think that it is better to have it and not need it,than to need it and not have it."
Police: "Is that your red car parked right out front?"
ME: "Yes"
Police: "We got a report of someone trying to break into it."
Me: "Break into it????"
Police: "You work for granite construction?"
Me: "No ???????"
Police: "Can you come outside and make sure that nothing is missing?"
Me: "Sure."
So I walk outside and look through my car and not finding any thing missing I tell them that I think every thing is here. I don't really have any thing to steal in my car except for a half pound package of beef jerky, safety vest from work and a jacket that I wore to work on Friday.
So did I over react or did I just unnerve some of the boys in blue?
