I am glad I didn't have to grab my gun off the night stand tonight.
the story:
I live in an old part of town in Mesa, AZ, my house has an alley way behind it, which has railroad tracks on the other side. I frequently see vagrants and unsavory characters heads bobing along my back fence though l never see them stop to take a look.
Well tonight was different. We have our windows open at night right now to enjoy the cool air and help the house cool down. Unable to wind down and turn my brain off, I was still awake later than I usually am. And As I was laying in bed a few minutes ago reading another thread after watching the pro gun citizen wreck the city council meeting (awesome BTW), I heard foot steps in the alley way and a lot of fowl language. two males were back there and had apparently stopped. Through the window I saw their heads poking over my fence. I heard them talking about "this one", using the "F" word or "S" word about every other word. then I heard my dog moving around. and then one saying "damn that's a pitbull" (he's not a pitbull) "I'm not F-ing with no pitbull" (he's a Boerboel actually) "no F-ing way man" more broken english mixed with the F word and they shuffled away.
Little did they know my "pitbull" would have been the least of their troubles if they picked my house, but I am grateful it didnt come to that.
It's Ironic that happened just after being on the other thread but it sure hit home. If they HAD decided to mess with my dog, I am sure glad I am well armed. My girls are precious to me and I would fight till my last breathe for them.
It's astounding that some people would limit my ability to do so, and decrease my odds of success.
