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. :D
We have only ever had shotguns that we inherited from granddad. We gave his fancy pistols away to friends who are collectors. |
