Once in east Dallas during the day...I saw a dude monkeying with the lock on our gate - just outside the patio. We lived in a bad area. And it was holiday time...anyhow, I ran and got my hub's huge Mazburg hunting rifle and opened the curtains in the sliding doors right across from this gate. I made sure he could see me centering in on his position. All I saw was a huge white flipped out eyeball & he definitely saw the big ass rifle in my hands pointing right at his face, and he ran away.
I was a quite freaked out & called the cops who said they couldn't "do anything" unless he walked into the patio & accosted me. He didn't, (thank God) but I would have blasted his head off it he had. The best part of this is that the rifle was unloaded, as I always expect it to be. And yet, we never had anyone dick with our patio gate after that. Go figure.
Luckily, I know how to load that hunting gun and I'd use it if I had to. (the few times I've shot it - it was almost knocked me to the ground.) But I know how to use it!
