My wife has had to call the cops a couple of times for prowlers in yard, etc.
She always ends with “My husband is the bald man with the 45”
Well, the ONLY occasion I ever discharged my piece in “home defense”......was purely unnecessary, but VERY effective..
I caught a peeping tom in my backyard one night - after he had bothered several of the neighborhood ladies during the summer evenings.....
My wife thought she saw movement outside her bathroom window, and DEMANDED I “check it out”....with pistol in hand, I went out the front door quietly and moved quietly around to the back of the house..
Sure enough - there he was, trying to see through an obscured bathroom window pane... IMPOSSIBLE.
I didn’t say a word -— I pulled the slide to the rear and let it slam home.
He heard the unmistakable sound and seems to levitate off the ground and started running and jumping over the anchor fences like an Olympic star..
I fired two rounds into the ground to “accentuate” the point I didn’t want to have to deal with him again...
20 minutes later, I had the police at the door, and had a whole lot of explaining to do.....
Good thing I could show him where BOTH rounds fired had been into the side garden — or they would have been even more upset with me......
Fortunately - most of the Montgomery County Police at that time were former Marines, and he cut me a LOT of slack..
This was LONG before Chief Moose took over the Montgomery County Police and let his racism muck up the hunt for the D.C. snipers.......
Boy - Chief Moose — poster child for affirmative action gone bad...
Pretty much the ONLY reason to call 911 ... until the threat is done...
