5am Wakeup Call

[GearHead]

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.

Pictures to follow... I'll save my rant on how much this cost the city of Aurora vs a 37cent 9mm bullet
(5 police cars, 1 fire truck, 1 ambulance)

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.

Sorry to here that happened.

[Ranger]

That really is a wake-up call!

[Irving]

Well, what did he want?

[GearHead]

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

Happened to me the other night. But I stuck a my shotgun in his face and ask politely what I could do for him. Then told him the time and told him to go home.

Classic. I'll definitely have to try that if the opportunity arises.

Interesting.
I actually had the police wake me up last thursday at exactly 6:01am. They actually went as far as shining flashlights inside my windows and looked inside the house from the front(I should have at least asked wtf that was about). Apparently they just wanted to ask about a truck that was parked out front which wasn't even mine.

always the same routine when going to bed, where are the guns, where are the phones and flashlights. If one is out of place or missing, I locate it and put it where it should belong...

have had several early morning knocks on the door, most with a similar problem, drung, high and don't know what the hell they are doing... the outside screen doors have multiple locks on them, so even if I feel safe enough to open the inner door, the outer one is still locked and is extremely difficult to get through...
