Would it have been half as amusing if that lady had been your sister or wife?

On my first night in town, my GF and I stayed at a Holiday Inn along I-20, not realizing it was not a nice part of town. We were trying to settle into the room. Trying, because a group of VERY loud folks were making a lot of noise, yelling, cussing, etc. at 11 pm right outside our door. Finally, some idiot didn't knock, but POUNDS, on my room door, yelling to let them in, or else. I looked at my GF and said "Enough is enough." I walked over to my bag and pulled out my Colt .45 auto and walked over to the door. I stood to the side of the door in case they fired through and racked the slide as loud as I could, yelling out in my best 6'5", 250 lbs voice: "Watchu want!!!." I never heard another peep out of that crowd the rest of the night.
My brother was driving to visit his GF at A&M from Houston when a car-load of yahoos starts messing with him. They must have noticed he was picking his nose and started out with the usual finger up the nose crap. Digging around. Then it went to pulling in front of him and slowing down to a pretty slow speed. Then swerving at him. Rolling down the window and cussing him out. He reached under his seat and grabbed his unloaded Colt Python and started scratching his nose with the blade sight on the end of the barrel. They must have needed to go to the bathroom, cause they jammed on the brakes and hit the first exit they came to.
I have no idea if either situation was legal or not. All I know is sometimes a little taste is all it takes to calm a situation down.
Excellent. I wonder how many of us would have thought to do this.AdioSS wrote:I didn't paint him with the laser until he reached in my window wanting to "shake my hand" so at that point he was trespassing inside of my personal property. The guy told me he was a felon so he wasn't able to get a job, needed gas for his van, had kids in the van, blah blah blah. It went on for a few minutes. I told him no several times. If I would have shot him, it would have been my word against his, if he was able to tell it...
My biggest regret is that I realized later that I should have been paying attention to the other side of my truck just in case somebody else were to try to get in on that side.
