I have to say from your account, you are very lucky that it was not more serious. If some shit head was kicking garbage cans in my neighborhood and then cussed at me when I told him to stop. I definitely would have come down to have a talk and I certainly wouldn't have been armed with just a bat, and if some punk tried to flank me with his hand on a gun we would have found out who puts in more quality time in at the range...

I would strongly suggest that you an your friends really think about the consequences of your actions. Kicking cans late at night is idiotic and immature behavior, then to stand there and cuss out the home owner who calls you out on it and even get ready to shoot the guy is completely stupid and potentially criminal.

You should have told your friend to apologize and quickly left before the homeowner came out. I know half a dozen guys in Denver if you had tried that shit on their front lawn it would have gone down very very differently. Count yourself lucky that you are not in hospital or jail this morning, and really think about what you are doing.

First of all, he didn't say it was late at night. Second, I don't think it was a trash can he was kicking. I assumed from the context of the story, maybe incorrectly, it was something like a soda can...not the guy's trash can.

Then you have the nerve to chastise the OP for what his buddy did and how "stupid and potentially criminal" his behavior was and in the next breath talk about confronting someone for basically the same thing?

So you're willing to confront someone after arming yourself with a gun over that person kicking a can in the road. And then get into a gunfight if the persons you confront take steps to protect themselves or talk back to you. And yet the other guys are stupid and need to think about their behavior.

Yeah....I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that.
