btw- I'm not a gun guy, but damn straight you get your gun first in that situation
Agreed.

Reminds me: the NRA magazine has a section at the front each month that details how homeowners defended their property by shooting and killing would-be intruders. It's both ridiculous and entertaining at the same time. "Greta Andrews, 86 year old grandmother to 12, heard a strange sound on her back porch in Lumberton, Texas. She immediately grabbed her sawed-off, semi-automatic 12 gauge and investigated the situation. An individual no doubt on drugs was trying to take seeds from her birdfeeder but didn't count on the grit of Greta. She discharged 4 rounds into the perpetrator and then 2 more into the air in celebration before police arrived and took turns patting her on the back."

 
Crazy morning here.

I'm getting dressed in my bathroom after a shower. I hear my dog barking a pretty vicious "get outta here" kind of bark. I start hurrying to see what's up. We're out in the desert on 2.5 acre parcels. It takes more than the gardener to get her barking like this, but it happens sometimes when it's no big deal.

I hear my daughter scream. Okay she's 16 and it could be something gross on Youtube but combined with the dog I'm concerned and hustling to see what's up. She starts POUNDING on the bathroom door... screaming....

"Dad, the murderer is in our backyard, the killers are in our yard, I'm serious!!!!"

I open the door with a confused whaaaaaa!!?? I don't know of any murderers at the moment. She runs behind me clearly shaken. "I saw him. It's the murderer!!!!"

The dog has gone ape####. So I run down the hall to the family room...

Where I make strong eye contact with this guy.... who's holding the doggie door shut with my dog going nuts... and who unbeknownst to me was featured on Facebook by our local pd as identified in a morning shooting and on the run...

Also another guy who looks just like that guy is vomiting on my patio...

I run back down the hall to get a gun and call 911 (unfortunately in that order, and hating myself for it). Yep, I'm one of those and this may be an example of a thousand things I don't want to talk about because WOW was this intense. The gun safe was INTENSE. I SAW my heart pound. The sound of the dog seemed distorted and REALLY loud. Took a very deep breath, racked a round, told my kid to lock herself in the bathroom (she didn't). I tried to channel how cool and collected my dad always was in a crisis, and I yelled down the hall as loud as I could (probably sounding something like that demon from Amityville)...

"GETTTT OOOOUUUUUTTTT!!! I am armed!!! I called the cops!!!!", that last bit being a lie.

Then I looked, and saw one of them running. Then I saw a cop, handgun in hand, cross my property like Usain Bolt. I ran to the window and cop #2 saw me and my .45, he yelled to me that they had two on the run and to stay inside. My dog snarled at my garage door. I yelled at the cop to check my garage. He did. Clear. IN-ephing-TENSE.

Pukeface, the shooter's brother, was apprehended on the street two houses down, in violation of parole. Alleged murderer in the link made it another mile. My yard was searched for 30 minutes seeking the potential murder weapon. No luck. Not sure if the lady he shot made it.

I'm having tequila with my beer. And I have a teen daughter who stayed home from school today feeling poorly, who happened to see this story breaking on our city facebook page, then went face to face with the shooter through our dining room window. Just wow. She was shaken for an hour or so, but the cop who searched our yard was really hot, made her feel safe, complimented me for no good reason, told her she was lucky to have a dad like me (really for her benefit not because I reacted great) and now she's doing her homework acting like nothing happened. She's gonna have nightmares, right?
I lost some weight.

 
Holy hell. :shock: Glad you guys are all right.

Who had to clean up the puke?
:lmao:
Srsly? :lol:

My dogs water bowl is a five gallon bucket. It's hot out here and that's just smart. I used it to wash the puke into the garden then gave that a good soak. The dog sniffed it like it might be something worth dining on. She's a Cane Corso.
Scary
I got a NSFW and was reported to IT for clicking that. Is it midget porn?

 
I'm bad at reading.

Did the murderer actually get inside- with your dog outside? Or were you looking at him through a window.

Don't know why that's important.

btw- I'm shaken just reading that story... ####### insane. really glad you and the daguther are ok.

Your dog deserves a steak.
Yup.

His daughter deserves a pumpkin spice latte.

 
Glad you're OK CC.

And just to add fuel to the fire, no telling how this works out without a 150lb dog and a 1911 at hand. The kind of stuff everybody thinks will never happen to them.

Thanks, btw. I saw him through a window on the door. The door was unlocked. The dog was inside with us, trying to get through the doggie door. It's unnerving to think they would have walked right in an unlocked back door if not for the dog, and done so at a time I was dressing in the bathroom with my kid home sick for the day.

Just to wrap this up a bit. They'd been on the run on foot for a couple hours and covered a few miles to get to my neighborhood. They were exhausted and looking for a place to hide, like my house. They had disposed of any weapons and were unarmed on my property. Not only did my dog prevent them from coming in, but she scared him enough for him to get trapped holding the doggie door shut to avoid being attacked. Which allowed the pursuing cops time to close distance. He was also letting pukeface catch his breath. That guy eats too many oranges.

Still no official word on the condition of the victim, but the grapevine says she'll survive. This wasn't a couple hardened gun toting criminals in my backyard. More like a couple local punks with dozens of decent/nicer high school kids/athletes friended on Facebook and known for being big partiers. A verbal altercation turned into a shooting and... it's over.

I debated whether or not to post about it here given my presence in various gun threads. I'm the guy telling "tactical home defenders" to chill because it won't happen to them, and that a dog is better than a firearm despite owning several. So here that proved true. I'm critical of myself because if your kid says what mine said and you know she isn't kidding and the dog is going nuts... call 911 before ever checking it out. I shouldn't have gone out to the family room without first calling and second arming myself. That run back down the hall was a rookie move that could have cost me.

If anyone is interested in a mini cornhole with Ronnie Silks, please reach out via PM.
sorry for being vague the other day. was posting from the airport before getting on a plane to leave Vegas.

not sure if it was some secret shtick you've been running for 10 years or what, but I thought you told everybody you were a black dude back in the Zartan days of :e:. then those werewolf guys told me you're just some white Jewish guy.

kind of shredded my entire worldview to be honest.
