So i'm sitting here in the living room padding and watching tv when I hear a car pull up. Nobody is supposed to get here for another hour or two. I mute the tv and I hear car door(s). Then I hear what sounds like someone messing with the outside garage door. I ran upstairs to grab the gun and start checking the house out. When I walked across the front of the house I passed by a full height window and saw my reflection out of the corner of my eye. It looked like someone was outside on the porch walking towards the door.I jumped and raised the gun pwnt.

only you shooting the reflection would have made that worthwhile
11/25/2008 10:08:56 PM
I'm not gonna lie, I was close. I'm familiar enough with guns to fully aim before I shoot and in the process of aiming I realized I was putting the front sight on my own noggin
11/25/2008 10:10:51 PM
sooo.. what was up outside?
11/25/2008 10:14:21 PM
this is why i could never own a gun. something bad would happen. i'd probably kill my cat.
11/25/2008 10:15:53 PM
Still not sure. Walked outside out the front door (so I could sneak up on whoever it was) and checked things out. No car, no people. Maybe i'm going nuts?
11/25/2008 10:16:30 PM
It's a good thing you didn't fire. If you'd shot, the reflection would've too.
11/25/2008 10:17:06 PM
omg I almost died.
11/25/2008 10:17:32 PM
then who was door?
11/25/2008 10:19:34 PM
I love lamp?

Wow, this reminds me of too many nights alone with the bottle. I never kept the revolver loaded but I certainly felt it would intimidate an intruder somehow. I used the semi-automatic one time when I heard someone outside the door - I snapped the action next to the frame and yelled Who's there? in my deepest basso-suprano voice. After I waited, clicked on the light and checked out the window only to find a raccoon, it took a full ten minutes for the adrenaline to subside.

unless you live out in the middle of nowhere with not a soul for miles around, you're asking for a manslaughter charge by running to get your gun at the first sound of someone outside your house. use your brain.
11/25/2008 10:27:07 PM
I just came in from cleaning the garage where I had a much larger caliber weapon available if you know what I mean ^and I know the laws. I will not shoot until I see a gun raised on me.[Edited on November 25, 2008 at 10:27 PM. Reason : .]
11/25/2008 10:27:11 PM
Who says he needs to have a gun raised at you?]
11/25/2008 10:28:09 PM
why are you people so scared? Do you live in the ghetto?
11/25/2008 10:28:23 PM

11/25/2008 10:29:07 PM
Next time somebody comes to the door, I'm calling in an airstrike!
11/25/2008 10:30:04 PM
i used to have really bad dreams last year. i think it is because i let law school get in my head. i have a really vivid imagination and i can get EXTREMELY carried away with possible scenarios. and not only did i have all the crazy crim law cases in my head but i was working on cases for convicted murderers. but now i'm just like "meh" i am so HARD (like tough, not like sexually. because i don't have a penis)
11/25/2008 10:30:17 PM
No I'm in a pretty nice side of town but it is pretty remote and there have been an abnormally high number of break ins lately.

I got shot at before and like to see myself as hard, but one day during a nice walk in the park, I heard distant gunshots and I broke down completely. I just have this image of a bullet eternally pointed between my eyes.
11/25/2008 10:32:26 PM
I didn't expect a type of spanish inquisition.
11/25/2008 10:32:59 PM
oh i sleep with a knife and pepper spray by my bed (i need new pepper spray)but more than intruders i'm scared of a fire or other disasters like that.
11/25/2008 10:33:44 PM
A lot of hard-core dudes actually spray themselves as preparation. Kinda of like they do jail officers as part of their training.
11/25/2008 10:34:30 PM
I'm thinking about spraying myself before boot camp. I hear its decent preparation for the gas chamber.
11/25/2008 10:35:30 PM
It burns, apparently, but wears off after a few hours.
11/25/2008 10:35:55 PM
I keep a donatello staff under my matteressif anyone tries to suprise buttsecks me they'll feel my wrath
11/25/2008 10:36:20 PM
btw nobody caught my reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gldlyTjXk9A
11/25/2008 10:36:25 PM
yea but do they stab themselves in preparation?also i have very sharp teeth
11/25/2008 10:37:07 PM
Fawlty Towers! Yay!
11/25/2008 10:37:34 PM
did you file them down?
11/25/2008 10:37:57 PM
so the question is....did you just scare the shit out of yourself or literally scare the shit out of yourself.
11/25/2008 10:39:09 PM
I literally, literally scared the shit out of myself
11/25/2008 10:39:56 PM

11/25/2008 10:45:46 PM
ew you pooped yourself
11/25/2008 10:46:02 PM
well i sleep with earplugs so it kind of heightens the scare factor because then i know i won't hear the smoke alarm. and there is only one way out of my condo (well one door) so i have devised a master escape plan.
11/25/2008 10:47:42 PM
What, you keep an axe beside your bed and you punch a whole through your wall then do a triple backflip out the hole and land softly on your feet?
11/25/2008 10:48:39 PM
i pretty much covered up all my fears by tuning my reflexes to superhuman level. saved my ass like 5 times at least.mariokart. look it up
