I'll post an embarrasing experience from years ago. My wife and I were newly married and living in a tiny apartment. I had just recently purchased my first firearm, a Rossi .357 revolver. We were going to go out with some friends and everyone was going to meet at our place. Wife was in the bathroom dolling up all pretty and I was in the living room watching TV. This apartment had one small hall that led from the bedroom to living room and had a door to the bathroom directly accross from the front door. Suddenly the front door opens and I assume it is one of our friends. It was NOT! I did not recognize this man. I FROZE trying to figure out how I was going to get past him to the bedroom to get the gun. Now the entrance was accross for the bathroom where dear wife was and she comes out screaming at him to get out now, and he does. Though she used some more colorful language at the time. We later find out it was a drunk friend of a neighbor looking for his apartment.
Leasons learned:
1)LOCK the door.
2) Do something. The gun was out of the question, but was all I could focus on and it all fell apart there.
3) Don't interupt the wife while doing her hair. She may use foul language out of her character. :lol:
