Going to run this one by you:
You're sitting in your house, something outside, across the way catches your eye, and you look and.... someone about 75+m away is aiming a scoped rifle at you from the property of a neighbor...
Engage? or not? Should it be taken as/considered a direct/imminent threat? whether he gets off a shot or no?
Had this one today, myself-was in my front room sanding some wood for another knife project, when a glint/reflection caught my eye- looked out the window and across the way, and spotted some kid with a scoped .22 rifle pointed right at me. No idea why or whatever.
1st instinct was hand on the pistol- but I held, and grabbed my camera instead, as I had it nearby to document the project I was working on.
Brought it up, zoomed in on the kid with the 200mm lense, and as I was bringing it up, he promptly shouldered the rifle and began to walk off.
Close up:
Long view of range to target. -and no, there was nothing between he and I for him to be taking aim at.
Long shot for the pistol, yet another reason Ive been debating a rifle or carbine for around the house..Not entirely confident of a .45 shot out to that distance, or even my shotgun, if I had to.
