Too bad they had to learn the hard way. My mother and father-in-law were convinced they needed "something" (bought a Glock 19) after watching all the Katrina drama on TV. They live in MD in the burbs but you never know what can happen. I mean they're not going to get a deadly hurricane, since they're pretty far inland, but because they're between DC and Fort Dietrich in Frederick they need to be concerned and prepared.

Stranger in the Night
At about 12:15am this morning, as I was about to goto sleep, I heard my doorbell ring a few times. No one I know would come around at that time of night especially w/o calling first. The alarm was already set so I grabbed my cell and my 12ga. I noticed a red sportscar blocking my driveway. I heard the person yell the name "Eric" a few times. With all the lights out I proceeded downstairs to my front door which has decorative glass and I could now see this person actually knocking on my neighbors door (we share a walkway and our doors face each other). He knocked loudly a few more time and then left. I went back upstairs to see if I could get a look at his license plate and I noticed him pissing in my bushes!! When he was finished he got into his vehicle and drove off. This was obviously a drunk idiot trying to find a friend and happened to get the wrong address. I never did get the license plate either. I'll have to talk to my neighbors about it tomorrow.
This is the first time this has happened to me and it was strange!! My strategy in case my alarm is tripped is to barricade myself and my wife in our bedroom (armed of course) and wait for the police to arrive. Since I do not have house clearing training I would not attempt to do so. The only reason I even went downstairs this morning was b/c the alarm wasn't tripped.
I also remember someone (a German) who got shot through a door by a homeowner a number of years ago here in Houston. This guy however was really banging and yelling.
Has anyone else had something like this happen to them??
Thanks,
Rug
