Hey yall. Unfortunately, I came close to actually using my home defense shotgun (just a KISS 870 with riot barrel and wood stocks) on two would-be theives. My brother woke me up and said he had noticed our dogs barking outside (his room is on the back side of the house where the commotion was going on), and had looked out window and had seen a couple of shadows in the yard. So in all my glorious splendor (just my boxers) I jump out of bed, grad my HDS and head toward the door. With my vision still clouded, I opened the door and racked a shell in the chamber (still with the safety on grant you) and proceded to try and assess the situation. I couldn't see much, but right after racking the slide, I saw two subjects haul ass toward the gate, hollering DON'T SHOOT MAN, DON'T SHOOT!!
And they proceeded to run faster than they probably have in their entire lives. To rap up, I learned that they were actually breaking and entering on my brothers truck and attempting to do the same with his wife's car. Well, I prevented them from actually taking anything from us, but on they had actually broken into 4 other vehicles on my street and have stolen a miter saw and had taken apart one of the car stereos but left it. So unfortunately I did not get a good look or description of the perps or the vehicle they left in (they ran down the road to a car that was waiting for them). Hopefully, they know better than to come onto our property again.
Note: It took the local Sheriff's Office 15-20 minutes to get a deputy onscene.
