I have used a gun in self defense 3 times in my life. The first time I was in heavy traffic and the guy behind me was trying to speed and get around me, but we werer going 20 mph and there was no room to do anything. He would zoom up onto my back bumper and lay on the horn. He kept getting more aggressive and closer, when I felt he was getting too aggressive, I pulled my .45acp out of the glove box. It was still in the holster, I held it up so he could see it, then slapped it down onto the dash, it got very quiet behind me at that point and I did not have any more problems.
The second time I was in a drive thru line waiting to order when a homeless man that I refused to give any change to minutes earlier tried to launch his pitbull at me thru my El Caminos' window.The pitbull was not able to get thru the window, but it's head was inches from my face. I had a 9x18 Hungarian PA-63 under my seat, I don't remember pulling it out, but I had it out of the holster and aimed at his chest and was screaming at him to get the F*ck away from me or I was going to shoot him, I had to repeat it several times, but he pulled the dog out of the window and took off. I did not want to shoot the dog, as it could not get to me, but the owner was telling it to attack, so that is why I drew on him. I still have the scratches on my door from the dog.
The 3rd time I was at home and was in my living room with the front door open, when I heard a bicycle crash at the end of my walk. I saw it was the 5 yr old boy that lived next door. I then heard growling and saw the boys dad run up and put the boy behind him and hold the bike out in front. I had a .380 pistol that I grabbed and went out the door. I saw 2 pitbulls advancing on the father and his son, they were head down and growling and walking forward. I asked the dad if he knew whos they were and he said no, and I had not seen them before. I tried to distract the dogs but they kept advancing, and when the lead dog started to attack I fired one shot that went thru the dogs neck and sent them running. I don't like killing and was shaking afterwards. I called the PD and told them what had happened and a officer came out and we found the dogs in a back yard, but the owners would not allow the cops to see the dogs. I went back to the house and the 5yr old was out and he came over to thank me for saving him and his dad from the dogs.
In 3 self defence events I was in, 2 time I only had to display the weapon, and those 2 times involved people, the only time I had to fire the weapon was involving a animal.
It took the police 30 minutes to arrive after the dog was shot, and another time I called involing a break in, it was 2 hours.
