Thin skin and an elephant memory for woe is me. I haven't yet seen a post that implied the OP is bragging or making up stuff. If you have, I'd love to see it but otherwise, I put it down to a misplaced or questionable interpretation of posts.
Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.
I did miss that one, sorry. He did state that he'd have called 911 instead. You're right. My bad.
reading comprehension is not a forte of yours
Jay I'm the odd man out on this one.
In this situation things worked out.
why..... because it was a kid not intent on doing any harm.
I think not calling 911 right away and exiting the house were mistakes that could have gone very badly for you if there was another far worse intent
Jen not doing as planned could have been very bad as well
Because if you're gonna criticize his actions
I re read it and find all I did was give Jay two points to think about.
Thanks to all of you for your support, In the aftermath of this I tend to beat myself up as to what could/should I have done better, your responses reaffirm that I did ok.

Of course there are no posts in this thread to that effect. Duh. I was simply joking that the last time someone else posted an account of a real world incident where that person actually had a firearm and pointed or aimed or otherwise non-shooting used it in a self defense scenario, that person was castigated, and I was kidding that such slams were soon to come here, too. Is all.
It actually is, but only where it pays money or where it is essential. Casual forum chat, not so much. I'm way too busy to pore meticulously over every word in the forums I visit. Those are for fun.

What if there were two people out there? three??

I like Sam and I like Gene as different as they are from each other. Didn't say we could stand each other fer very long :jester:
Could anyone imagine them two being stuck together fer eternity together like in that Frenchman's play No Exit....:yikes: :devil:

Nah, he's over it. He keeps on bringing it up, but he's over it. It's far from his mind. Until he brings it up. But it's behind him. He's over it.
But he remembers the last time it happened, and will tell you about it.
Only if it's in the subject matter. I guess I started this in the thread because I was making light of the story, joking about how certain trolls were ready to leap. And true to your trollish behavior, you did jump. So very typical of a goggle-eyed cartoon image, very like a troll in appearance. How fitting.
And yeah, I do remember things that happen to me. You do not? How quaint.
You just seem to keep saying you're over being chastised for relaying what has happened to you, but then bring up the supposed chastizing to tell others to be careful lest they be chastized, all the while proclaiming you're over it. Repeatedly.
But please, continue to tell us how you're over it and not bothered by it.

Not to dogpile, but "Methinks thou doth protest too much".
Sam, you put "Steely eyed" in three consecutive posts, then claimed injury in another few. I don't want to point fingers, but you're not seeming icy cool right now...

Not everyone is afraid to protect their own property, especially in gun friendly states like Fl, and Texas.
This entire "hide inside and call 911" attitude is foreign to some of us, and the only thing I would have done differently is to ask the wife to call 911 for me, and to have let my dog out when I came out.
What would have happened if there were 2 or 3 of them, or they had bad intentions? I suspect they would have had a VERY bad night.

If someone were out side my bathroom window, I may have shot them given both bathrooms are on the second floor.
I've done the same thing, gone outside with a gun, probably not the smartest thing really but you can't call 911 every time you think you hear something. Especially in the country.
Smart to arm you're wife with both a gun and phone IMO.
