Might be worth your time and theirs to teach the ladies next to you how to defend themselves, should this guy get inside... Take them to a local range that rents guns, let them try a few out.
Just a thought

Here's what I think.
Next time,
1. Call cops.
2. Open carry but don't draw unless you need to shoot. Once you've drawn, you don't have any more ways left to stress your commands.
3. Tell him that he must stay where he is lest further action be taken.
4. Wait for cops.
5. Transfer authority to cops.
6. Feel really cool.
I had an acquaintance who was being bothered by a peeping tom, on an ongoing basis. He finally took a bunch of plywood, painted it black, and drove many long pointed nails through it. He laid them around his house, pointy ends up, awoke to screaming, wailing. Bood trail out to road, was never bothered again. Just sayin'...
This will get you jail time for sure. Just sayin'...Quote:

Second, I have to say, that in a very weird way, I think we are all better off having these discussions when they arise. We can all learn from these unfortunate circumstances and educate ourselves on how, and how not to handle different situations, whether they are happening to us, or someone we know, or god forbid this happen to someone else in the future.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I agree, deadly force is always a last resort. I also agree that protecting yourself and your loved ones and neighbors has to be at the forefront of your mind at all times.
Sometimes I feel that there are more laws out there that protect the criminal more than they protect the victim, and if so many people didn't have to be afraid of going to jail themselves while protecting there home, family and neighbors, crime would be a different thing. Here in the US, you get caught stealing you go to jail, in some countries they just cut your hands off and move on...in this country you get caught raping someone you go to jail, in some countries they cut your dick off....in this country you protect yourself and shoot someone while they are peering in your windows, YOU go to jail, in other countries you do that and the cops help clean up the perps blood off you stoop, shake you hand and say "thanks for getting that POS off the street"........now I realize this is a topic for a MUCH different discussion, and will get off my soap box now but I needed to get that off my chest.
Anyway, back to what I was talking about originally. I came to this site because I was a gun enthusiast, in the short time I have been here I have learned so much about so many different things. it is these types of discussion that help all of us and make all of us aware of different situations that, god forbid, someday, one of may be a part of ourselves.
Ok, rant over, back to your regularly scheduled program......
Maybe we should look into a sub-forum for posting scenarios like this one, and the one I posted a while back. I know that too many sub-forums is the death of a board, but I thought it was worth a suggestion. Unless someone wants to start a CCW Trade Association and have monthly meetings at an Embassy Suites to discuss this kind of stuff in person. Might be kind of fun and would have less stuff out there on the internet.
I would like to have more of these discussions to raise everyones awareness of how to handle these situations
I agree - so long as we could also get the perspective from LEOs on the site as to how THEY would handle it and from any attorney's we might have on the site to hear the law's position on the subjects.
