You were a cop?! I have learned something new about you.
Jay, I am glad too that you didn't have an incident.
I was staying at a house alone when someone tried to break in. The police couldn't find the house because it was in a cookie cutter townhouse subdivision where everything looked alike. I barricaded myself in the bathroom with the fireplace poker while trying to give directions to the police on the phone. Very scary night.
There was a little levity in it when a plain clothes officer who looked exactly like Danny Glover showed up with a big silver "Dirty Harry" type gun drawn. He and the other officers scared off the intruder. I was in my jammies with tears running through the Clearasil on my face.
We have only ever had shotguns that we inherited from granddad. We gave his fancy pistols away to friends who are collectors.
