re: Using Your Gun for Defense - Stories

i got one...

so i was asleep and at 4 in the morning my gf woke me up and said she thought someone was in the house. we listened for a second and definitley heard a footstep. I grabbed my XD-45 and told the lady to call the cops. I put one in the chamber and yelled out that the police have been called and i've got a gun, gtfo of my house. right after that i opened my bedroom door expecting to see someone right there, they had already started running off so i chased them down the stairs and out of the house. didnt shoot or chase them down the street because they were running away. as much as i would love to pop a cap in a burglars arse i probably wouldnt be too legally protected by shooting someone in the back as they were running away. they had already gotten my TV out of the house

cops eventually showed up about 20 minutes after we called them (in nola) and then accused us of stealing our own tv for insurance money (dont have renters insurance, ha!) and the cop told me i was lucky he didnt shoot me (even though they knew i had a gun) we had to walk out of my house with our hands on our heads, gotta love the NOPD! i informed them that they should probably do some police work and check the rest of the house because i had not gone into my spare bedrooms yet. oh tehy couldnt "investigate" because it was dark, oviously nothing stolen was recovered and the cops never gave a shite
