How often do you reach for your nightstand gun?

Ask away brother! Lol!

Ok. How old were you when this happened?

Damn it. I was hoping you were going to say like early 20's. Then I wouldn't have any more questions.

But mid 30's, and wife has a drunk male friend breaking in your house at night. Yikes.

They were colleagues and drinking buddies. Both had problems with it. She sobered up after we divorced and has been sober for 8 years. He’s still a lush. A bottom of the barrel alcoholic and addict. The stories I could tell about that kid.

So we're talking about your ex wife then?

Now ex yes. Married at the time of incident. One of two times in my 48 years that I drew a loaded weapon on another human being.

Had a rollup garage door spring break one night and it sounded like someone was kicking in the door from the garage to the kitchen. Grabbed the 870, told the wife to grab her pistol and get in the bathroom then very slowly cleared inside and outside. Glad I don’t have bladder or sphincter issues.

This...has also happened to me. Sounded like a bomb went off in the garage.

Wait till you here a mountain lion..........Or a rattlesnake in the washroom.......Or a coyote blood curdling screams as they catch something on a creek bottom in the middle of a pitch dark night. And you're in a tent.......And what about bears.........

Neighbor had a mountain lion on his camera last fall. It does make walking around at night around here a little more... froggy. Have yet to see rattlesnake. Of course now that I typed that....

Had just moved to the current house about 7 years ago, heavy woods, just off the river. 2ish in the AM, scream pierces the night, like a woman getting raped, few seconds of silence and it goes again, front of the house toward the street. Grab pistol and light, fire the light down from the second story window outside....

Foxes tied up having sex.... Recognized the sound just as I saw them.

If you don’t know what it is, it’s damn startling for sure.
