I drew a pepper spray at an aggressive dog that did not want me to get in my own car once, must have thought he marked his territory .. didn't have to spray
I awoke one morning to kids, 7 and 5, telling me a naked man was in the house doing things he shouldn't ... I drew a pepper spray at him and he decided to quickly leave my house and run down the block while trying to dress, begging me not to spray him, didn't have to spray (I was wearing a Glock 19, and showing great great restraint while I followed him down the block advising him to not return)

That one is scary! Goes to show why it's best not to get involved unless it's absolutely clear. How easily could that situation have been misread. Good for you for keeping your cool.

Sleeping with someone used to be called being involved. Is that not called being involved anymore?

Birdie is a woman, Oldgringo.
