Was unloading the family from the minivan and heard lots of russling and sounds coming towards us out of the dark.
I thought the sounds were like a bunch of dogs, so I pulled and started making lots of noise to the scare off the animals. I was louding saying, get in the house, get behind me, cover your ears if I have to shoot.
I was saying this as I pulled my gun. I had changed clothes and my gun was not ready, so I had to pull the slide to get the first round in the chamber (I know bad possumboy - I will not make that mistake again. I was trying to be quiet in the changing room). I did this as I started making noise.
The sounds stopped, and the russling started moving quickly away from us. Everyone made it into the house and my wife said she thought it sounded like people making the noise, not dogs.
Because of this, and the fact that I'm almost legally deaf, I called the police to report what happened. Twoofficers arrived and I explained what happened:
We got home.
We heard movement towards us and strange noises - I thought it sound like multiple dogs, my wife thinks it sounded like people.
I pulled my gun, started making lots of loud noises, and placed myself between the noise and my family.
The sounds stopped, and the movement retreated.
I then told the officers that I called them because if it was people, I wanted them to know what happen, not something like "we were just walking around and this guy pulled a gun on us." And if it was dogs, animal control needs to know about them before the hurt someone.
I had my gun on my hip the entire time I was talking the police. The only thing that was said about me having it was "You have every right to pull it, especially on your own property."
I didn't tell them that I carried my HK Red Lion (12 guage Semi-Auto)when I had to go back to the van to get diapers before they arrived. Like they say, I don't carry because I expect trouble, if I was expecting trouble, I would have my shotgun.
I was very happy about how things went, I did light up the house before the police arrived, kept my distance until the approached, and kept my hand in front of me where they could see them until the conversation between us started. This is what it is all about, what everyone in America should experience if they every have to pull.
