I live in a Condo with my wife and was 58 when this happen.
My neighbor is a single mom with 2 young kids and I have always told her to bang on the wall if she ever needed help. Well, one evening I heard the banging and yelling and I put on my insight M6 light on my Sig 220 and went out the back and seen a large Indian about to break the neighbors window, My wife was already calling 911. I gave him a loud command to stop or I would drop him and he turned and seen the light and .45 aimed and him, I had him kneel and kept myself at around 8 feet from him and told him I could not miss him at this range blindfolded in a strong voice. Shortly the police arrived and he was taken away, I asked if they wanted to see my CCW, they said no and thanked me for
Stopping him he was very drunk and taken away. I would advise people to have a game plan that your family and neighbors to avoid home invasions or mishaps with shooting the wrong person. Always make sure you can see them if they are have a weapon ( he had a large knife) Keep the phone on speed dial to 911 and have a barricade do not go into a weaver stance or ISO in real life it is point shooting. Never pull that trigger unless the threat is imminent. Be very loud as in given commands so you can wake up others and they can hear you. Just some tips.

Good work sir. It's nice that some communities are still just that. Communities. I told my neighbors if they ever need anything to just shout. Again, I'm glad that you were able to help. This was one of the best shoots possible, the one that didn't happen.

From all the training I've recieved in the Mil I've always been told it's best to stay at least 21' away. An average person can get to you at 8 in less than a second, and if his has a knife I would definitely worry about that. A .45 is nice, but won't always stop a big ol' indian with a knife. I'd go with a nice 12ga.:D

Overall, good job, stay safe.

I think perhaps they would hold free public seminars on the injustice of violently confronting an alcholicly impaired Native American exercising his historic and cultural sangfroid against oppresive and repressively bourgeois apartment dwellers.

How did this get to be a rant on Native Americans? Did his race have anything to do with this story? Besides the second ammendment is one many natives are supportive of. And lets not forget that most our constitution and new world idealogies that are being destroyed now were "borrowed" from native ideology.

Dude, it's a riff on "liberalspeak," not anything against Native Americans. Just look at it and imagine hearing someonefrom the University of Chicago (or Berkely, etc.)reciting the line.

Sonora gets it. Perhaps I should have added a smiley?

Actually, I eat in Berkeley fairly often, and I can assure you that, silly as it was, your statement was far more lucid than the stuff that spews out of the average Berkeley student.

That's one school I am not impressed with.

I believe that at Berkley, the concept of "higher Learning" was somewhat misconstrued. They've enterpreted it as meaning learning to role a joint, while totally stoned.

OK I get it now....maybe stating liberalspeak ...on the post would have helped....lol. I am not politically correct person myself....sometimes sarcasm doesn't get through in online forums very well.
