You don't carry it ready to go? Think there will always be plenty of time to charge it when you need it?

This was one of those rare times that I didnt have it cocked and locked. I had just gotten home and "thought" that we were in the for the night and was getting ready for bed. I unchamber when I put it in my gunsafe. The "better" half decided she wanted to put up a few recent purchases and I certainly wasnt going to let her be out and about by herself in the front yard so I provided security (and a strong back).

Of course, in her mind there was no reason to be armed :roll: :roll:

Re: Why I carry, even in the house

lol Yeah, I thought of OC but I'd rather not let me neighbors know there's any fireams in the house. Especially that a neighbor to our immediate right isn't a citizen of the most upstanding way.
Ha ha! Yea, we all have "that" neighbor. I know there are quite a number of members here that are in the dont ask/dont tell category. I am not..and I am sure that I may regret it one day.

I had a recent thing happen with "that" neighbor as he let his LARGE dog run around unleashed in our neighborhood. Quick history note for those "dont hate the breed crowd", this dog has rushed a solicitor on the sidewalk (Ok, maybe the dog aint so bad :lol: ), ran up to another LEASHED dog and attacked the dog. The owner just sat there looking stupid.

My incident was about 9pm at night. I was helping the missus put up the christmas trees and decorations in our front yard. My wife and kids went into the house (thankfully all that the same time). I walked out of our garage and immediately heard "the dog" barking his head off on my property about 10 ft away. Bared teeth an all. The owner was sitting on his property with a smile on his face. I unholstered my hi-point 9mm and charged the weapon (pointing it at the ground). I honestly do not want to hurt this animal (or anyone for that matter), but I have seen what he has done, he aint no poodle and he was 10 ft away from me on my property. The neighbor decided that that was the time that it would be best for him to call his dog. After a few tense moments the dog backs off and goes back on his own property.

during that incident my wife was walking back outside just as I was unholstering and charging. Thankfully she stayed put or the dog may have spooked and I would have had to stop it.

Since that time, I have not seen the dog out NOR have I heard the dog bark at night (another pet peeve of mine).

All I can say is to ALWAYS carry. There is NEVER a time or situation not to carry. IGNORE anyone that tells you otherwise.

Re: Why I carry, even in the house

Carry 24/7 or guess right.....

To the person that doesnt like solicitors, we have had some success with putting up a no solicitor sign. My wife and I fought about that, but everytime I sat down for dinner, the doorbell would ring and my wife would not answer the door (I didnt want her to answer either, but she wanted me to or for us to hide in our own house) so I just bought it and put it up.

when I am outside, I OC and for some reason the solicitors dont want to talk to me :lol:
