Strange night last night...

[Fuddy1952]

Well...something new. (At this point as always I appreciate replies since we all have different life's experiences. Thanks all)
Last night I get a call from the neighbor wife on my cell phone. "I tried your house phone and it didn't work (?!?). I'm baking you a cake, I'll bring it over tomorrow (?!?)."
Starting to sound like we're living in Peyton Place . My wife thinks it's funny...I don't see the humor. (). It's like a bad soap opera, The Bald and The Beautiful.

She may just appreciate you being willing to put your life on the line where her hubbs cowered on the bedroom.

This to me is what's weird. The husband collects guns. Why didn't he go out immediately.

Different people react to stressful situations differently.

Fuddy i'm glad the police didn't shoot you when they got there.

Daughter was home by herself and had a strange person walk up to her door after 9pm. Just as the person reached her door, her ring camera went out.

She called us freaking out, so wife and I ran over to her place, with the pistol and spot light.

I walked around the place and couldn't find anything other then an Amazon package on her doorstep.

Course she was 8 months pregnant and hormonal, so that probably had a lot to do with it.

She was worried because her husband had their gun.

I pointed out that she has a highly protective 95 lb German shepherd that will bite someone if they try to come in the house uninvited.

All she had to do would be to get him to bark or growl, and no one in their right mind would try come into the house.

Granted he screams like an excited little girl when grandpa comes over So he can be misleading sometimes

You and me both.
Our here is different. I had my rifle down, I repeated my name, etc.

She just left the cake and I just finished a HUGE slice. It was "To die for".

^^^^
Good point. In other places they shoot first, and see the gun later.

Here in GA they have to have a minimum barrel length of 18 inches..sawed off a pump one myself that had the old worthless twist type choke..the barrel length is 18.5 inches...asked my law enforcement friend about it. Just to make sure, yep nothing wrong with that.

Yep, minimum 18-in barrel, 26-in overall length to be legal.

we had a go round like that one day about 2 pm. you can see the lights of Memphis 40 miles away at night but we dont get bothered much.

neighbors husband was at work and wife was home alone when 2 dudes tried to break in. she grabs a pump 12 ga and starts yelling at them to get out as she goes to the bedroom jackin in a shell as she calls 911. she starts screaming obesities at them to get out [ that's about all they understand] anyhow it was all recorded on the 911 call. game warden on the other side of me comes screaming past and gets there and they were scared off.

husband wants a copy of the tape bad but they wont give him one. she was rather vocal about their linage and what she was about to do if they
got to the door. i guess the sound of that slide racking is understood by all.

She called them fat?

Started to comment on that last night but thought better. All I need is a bunch of Fat Lives Matter protesters on my doorstep.
Of course they would be gone by lunch time. We are too far out for grub hub deliveries.

I've heard - several times - that the sound of a shell being brought to battery can discourage many who would do us harm. Apparently it's a sound, easily acknowledged, by those who are criminals.

For a fact - the sound of me racking a shell on my 12 gage is quite loud and can be heard all over the house.

I've had one experience with a late night "knock on the door" and no answer to the question - "Who is it?". I racked a shell in the 12 gage. It was a lost family needing directions. Probably following their GPS - ha, ha.

Otherwise - all who have come at night will knock and announce who they are. State Police, my son, neighbor, etc.

Hey now, I resemble that remark :stirpot: FLM!! FLM!! FLM!!

Ok, I've said my piece. Time for breakfast

 

[Fuddy1952]

I just polished off that delicious cake...so if she calls tonight about intruders I'll run over 1/2 mph "Errrrppp! help is...buuurrrppp...on the way...pppoooooottttt!"
I'll be ready with 46" pants & belt.

I kill off pies and cakes way to fast to have a neighbor who will give me whole pies and cakes!

 

[lilranch2001]

I do have 2 neighbors who feel sorry for the 登le single guy at thanksgiving and Christmas so the usually bring me a nice meal, but usually only have 1-2 slices of pie....
