Well, early this morning(6:00am) I went outside to just sit on my porch and some asshole was in my backyard trying to pry open my storage building. Now, he didn't see me but I saw that he had a crowbar and a holster on his chest.
I ran back inside and grabbed my loaded .22 rifle and I opened fired on him(he was still trying to pry open my building with the crowbar)
First shot, I missed it barely(didn't take the time to line up shot completely) and he came to attention and I hit him with my second shot in the right shoulder, he fucking dropped his crowbar and a revolver and BOOKED it over my fence and through the neighbors yard. I would have taken more shots but I didn't want to shoot and then miss and have it penetrate a house.
I called the cops, they came(along with a lab crew) filed a report took his blood samples and the weapon/tool, they made me write out a summary saying that I felt my life was in danger and that I WILL appear in court if they catch him.
I was fucking scared because after the first shot he turned and then the second shot hit him, I thought he was gonna fire back at me. Fucking worst experience of my life. The whole day I have been on edge and I have my rifle loaded(and close), my .357 loaded and a knife on my person. I have been glancing out the window every few minutes
I need to tighten security of my house so nobody can just stroll in through the front fence, possible a new fence and gate and some security cameras. Im also gonna get some baby pit bulls and train them to patrol my yard.
Have you ever been or seen a robbery in progress and did you do anything about it?
