I just got home and the gate to my backyard is open, and it wasn't when I left. So I grab my Sig out of the car and walk around the house to see if there is any sign of forced entry.
When I get to the rear, I notice the curtains over the back door move. Uh oh!
I put the wife and kids back in the car and told her to call 911. I posted myself at the brick corner so I could see two sides.
I was very concerned. I, as I'm sure most guys here, have more than a couple. I keep one PS-90 by my bed and I have two pistols in my sock drawer. So, if they weren't armed when they broke in, they sure were now. I informed the police of this.
10 or so minutes later, a lone cruiser shows up. There were two cops, one went to the front and the other to the rear. Five minutes later, another cop arrives.
The two commenced to clearing. Just after they entered, my garage door begins to open!
Heart pounding, thanking God they hadn't demanded I disarm, I prepared to defend my wife and kids.
It turned out to be the police opening it, I'm not sure why. Light maybe?
Well, the house clearing took a while, and when I was cleared to go in, they asked me to make sure my weapons were all there. They were. The point man cop observed..."Yeah, all of them. Hey, what kind is that one in your SOB holster?"
About then, 5 more cruisers showed up. They BS'd in the yard for a few minutes and left. Of course, most of my neighbors were outside and concerned.
I was surprised that the only mention of my being armed was curiosity. Not one "sir, holster your weapon." or any thing of the sort.
Moral of the story: You just never know whose gonna be in your house while you're gone.
Oh, the moving curtain? I think it may have been the cat.
Well that is all, I am gonna see if I can fit a few more pistols in my safe. And, Yeehaw! I actually got to speak with the police and not hear Miranda! First time for everything.
