    Default 5am Wakeup Call

    5am Wakeup call.
    5:31 am my doorbell starts to ring continuously, my dog starts barking and I jump outta bed. Within 30 seconds, I look out my upstairs window and verify that this is someone I don’t know and unlock my closet gun safe. I’m armed.
    5:35 I am on the phone with 911. I don’t have a land line and it really did take 4 minutes to locate my cell phone and call.
    5:40 Officers arrive on scene. I live less than 2 miles from the police station, so they were quick. Five cars respond, to be exact.
    Turns out that this guy is drunk/high and didn’t know where he was.
    Lesson learned: Had this been a meth-head set to do harm on my family, and had I been a gun-hating lib, he would have had 9 minutes to invoke carnage on my family.
    Since I’m a gun-crazed republican, he would have had 30 second before I shot him dead.

    Sounds like it worked out fine. I'd much rather be looking for the phone with a gun in my hand than the other way around.

    That really is a wake-up call!

    He wanted in.. He thought that he lived here.. Too wasted to realize that he wasn't at his house. (which was miles away)
