Except that if you're convinced your life is in danger, wouldn't you want your loved one(s) out of the way?Phoenix David said:"Honey if I draw my gun, you get behind me and call 911 on your cell phone"
"If I draw my pistol, you run sideways from me as far as you can, or until you find something to hide behind, then call 911."
That way, if someone comes at you or throws lead at you, your wife/child/parent is out of the way of harm.

You just felt your life was in danger. That's a reasonable time to call police.Esanders2008 said:By calling the police, I would have to break my rule of "Never talk to the police (unless you HAVE to)".
Maybe it'd only take one more report for that dog to be classified as dangerous, the owner ticketed, & the dog destroyed.
The other reason to have a police report is so you don't seem like you do now - someone working on a creative writing project, hoping to get reactions.
There have been lots of posts similar to yours, generally by new people, with the same general flavor & tone.
Personally, there have been (IIRC) 2 things that have happened to me which I've reported here which did not have a police report &/or news article to back them up.

This seriously sounds like a creative writing exercise.Esanders2008 said:with practiced speed, drew my Glock 19 and aimed it at the advancing dog
Have you heard of the Tueller drill?Esanders2008 said:the dog sat in the middle of the street. I reholstered, figuring the threat was over
This would have been a dandy time for your wife to call & report the attack.Esanders2008 said:I was so stressed out over the whole situation I actually had to sit curb-side for several moments
