Last year we had security cameras installed around the perimitter of our house, the man who did the work left a bag of tools. He calls and sets up a 5PM or so appointment to pick them up.
5PM comes around and he is a "No Show". Well about 10:30PM my 13yr old son notices a stranger walking up the drive way and acting "Sneaky" Looking at the house in a crouched position. He yells for Mama (I was out of town working) and they see him sneaking around the back of the house.
The wife picks up and charges my AR-15 shorty, while getting the two children behind her. She gets my son to call 911 while she keeps an eye on this guy through the cameras. He eventually gets to the front door and goes to his hands and knees to peek in the window by the door, then stands up and rattles the door knob! Then turns and leaves.
Next door neighbor and the sherrif meet him at end of road and find out he was "Looking for his friends tools" They send him packing with emphasis on not coming back!
I dont know how she kept from shooting this punk when he rattled that front door knob. She just felt in control with the rifle and her ability to see him at all times. Neither of us believe he was there for the tools.
The cameras helped but that rifle and her practice with it gave her confidence to stand safe and await developments. She had already decided to fire when he started forcing a door or window but thank Godhe went away.
We now have a deadly sounding bisquit eating dog sleeping on the porch.
The big problem is My AR-15 turned into Her AR-15!
PS: She also confiscated my ColtCombat Elite 45!
The only thing I thought she could have done better was to arm my son with the 870 riot gun to cover her back side. He has been shooting since he was 6 and killed several deer. She still sees him as her baby (6' 275 LB Baby!). All in all I was proud of her and the children for acting well under such a stressful situation.
I pray this is as close as we ever come to defending ourselves but you can never tell.
