Sitting at my computer reading reviews on weapon evolution when the door of my apartment opened up. I look over at the door and it shuts right away. this is 130 in the morning( i work 3rd shift so i am up at this time regularly). I spring up and grab my glock which is sitting right next to me at the computer. I rush to the door, stand to one side and fling the door open. there is some dingy lookin street kid( isay kid but he was prob in his mid 20's) standing there I had my pistol by my side so he did not see it. I asked what the fuck he was doing and he said, " im sorry sir, i am looking for so and so". he said a name I am not farmiliar with so I told him no one here by that name, get lost. I watched him walk down the hall and out the door on my floor( i live in a 6 apt house on the sec floor). in my drawers, i closed my door and got dressed to take my dog out and make sure he wasn't still here and doing something he shouldn't. in my neighborhood there are some muggings and cars being broken into all the time so when I take out the dog at night, i holster my pistol. I get outside, no one out there. my dog does her thing and I bring her in. as I am going up the stairs I hear movement on the 3rd floor( the 2 apts up there are friends of mine and not of his) so I started up the stairs with my hand on my side arm just in case. there he is again! I say, "what the fuck are you doing here?" he says, My friend left me here." I say, "well you have no friends here, get the fuck out of my hall way!" I walked him down to the door at mag-light point and told him to leave. he did. about 10 min later. I decide to double check to see if he is gone, as it is now almost 2 am. I get down to the door and look outside to see if he is hanging around, at this point I would have just called the cops as he was real suspiscious. as I turn to walk up stairs, I notice my basement door is open a crack. I drew my pistol, rested it on my other arm that was holding my mag-light and opened the basement door. I said(before I turned the corner on the stairs), "if there is anyone down there, come out now, I have gun!"... no response I slowly go down the stairs and see no one. as I rounded the corner at the bottom, there he was in the corner of my basement hiding. I put my crimson trace on his chest and exclaimed," this is my home, you don't belong here, get out!" he raised his hands and apologized saying his friend left him and he had nowhere to go. I walked him at gun point to the outside door and to the edge of my buildings property and told him not to come back here, we don't want you here! shitting his pants he walked away down the road in a hurry. he said his friend was hanging out with the teenage slut next door and he didn't know which apt it was. I hope he got a lesson in manners when entering into someone elses place of residence. he prob didn't mean any harm but at the time it all happened, who knows. kids these days have some real strange habits, He wanted to teach you how to properly post on the internets. |
| right I should have had the door locked . but is your door locked during the day while you are there? I am up at night and sometimes leave it unlocked but always lock it on the way to my bedroom. this all happened pretty quick and I was reacting to the situation. yes the door will be locked now at all times, guess it was too much faith in humanity. as far as my text... yeah sorry a little long and choppy. |

The only time my door is unlocked is when I am walking into my apartment or actively moving heavy furniture/tools in or out of the apt. Let me guess you don't keep your bedroom door locked while you sleep either? |

I live in a pretty shitty 'hood. It wasn't always this way but has gotten bad in the last few years. I've been here just over ten years and have only started locking my doors recently. I actually went over nine years without ever locking my doors, whether I was home or not!
Of course I have had at least one rottweiler the whole time, and for about 6 months I had two! |

Hell yeah, my doors are locked even when I'm at home during the day! Only fools leave their doors unlocked! A lot of home invasions in my area. |
| quite honestly I beleived his story about looking for his friend. the neighbor across the hall is the local teenage pig. and always has guys over there. these 3 encounters happened within 10 min. I did bring my cell with me outside when I took the dog, just in case but the laser and the yelling made him move pretty quick. I went out on my front porch after and could see him walking about 500-600 meters down the road in the oposite direction. next time, I will call first to save myself the trouble if something did happen but like I said, It was a reaction to the situation at hand and I am sure he and I both learned from the interaction. |

GTG,,, but in a common area ? < im assuming any place that not in your apt is a common area .. but its late so i might be wrong |

My front door is always locked. If I'm in a room with a lock, that door is also shut and locked.

yes always lock your doors
I live in the sticks on what some half jokingly refer to as a compound and I have a strict rule about door locking. I make my rounds to check ever so often I would have called the cops after the second time He might have gotten shot on the third encounter. Having called a warning before you rounded the corner and received no reply you might have inferred nefarious intent on his part. Just as well you didn't shoot him though as I suppose in this case it wasn't worth it. |
Oh and I'd have called the cops.
