So I have plenty of friends/aquaintences that think I'm paranoid for carrying my sidearm at home. Here's a good a reason if any for my "paranoia". Glad it happened on the other side of town...

[/align] A Castle Rock man with a history of domestic violence was arrested when he threatened a house full of people with a rifle.
Cory Strickengloss, 36, was arrested on June 19 when a caller reported he was armed with a rifle inside a Castle Rock home. The sheriff’s office reported there were about 15 people in the home at the time of the incident, including several children.
Deputies responded to the early morning call, which came into the sheriff’s office around 4 a.m., and many of the people in the house were not aware of what was taking place, the sheriff’s office says.
While en route to the home on the 2000 block of Wolfensberger Road, officers were told Strickengloss was reportedly intoxicated and was possibly threatening people inside the home. The caller, accompanied by two other occupants of the home, was able to escape the house to call for help.
The reporting party said Strickengloss was making threats to another person who was coming to the home and the sheriff’s office deployed its SWAT team to establish a perimeter of the house.
With the assistance of the Castle Rock police department, the sheriff’s office closed Wolfensberger Road between Highway 105 and Faver Road.
SWAT team negotiators were able to make contact with an adult female inside the house, who relayed information to them.
SWAT team members gained entry to the home shortly before 8 a.m. and Strickengloss was taken into custody without incident. There were no injuries to officers on scene or to anyone inside the home, according to the Douglas County sheriff’s office.
Strickengloss was charged with prohibited use of a weapon, harassment and reckless endangerment, said Cocha Heyden, public information officer for the Douglas County sheriff’s office.
It is not clear if Strickengloss threatened to shoot anyone inside the home, Heyden said.
“He was never charged with felony menacing so it [is] my impression he didn’t point the weapon,” Heyden said.
The sheriff’s office cannot say how many children were in the house at the time of the incident, Heyden said, and investigators believe some of the home’s occupants were visitors rather than permanent residents.
Strickengloss was previously arrested in Douglas County for a November 2007 assault, a January 2007 disorderly conduct charge, an August 2002 DUI and a June 2002 wire tapping and domestic violence charge, Heyden said.
Investigators do not believe the incident is related to June 28 incident on Wolfensberger Road when burglary and auto theft suspects shot at pursuing deputies, Heyden said.
