Last time you had to 'clear' your house

One night, I was sound asleep when I hear banging from the room across the hall. I look over to see if my wife is in bed... CRAP still in bed! About that time, as I jump out of bed and grab my 1911, the light comes on in the hallway. I swing around, disengage the thumb safety and end in my weaver stance just as the bedroom door opens. My finger moves to the trigger. Just as the figure comes through the door with my sights on it's head (don't know why COM wasn't my automatic response), I realize it is my wife. I lower the gun and do a few confused double takes at her and the bed. After pulling back the comforter, I realized that the pillows got lined up under the comforter in the shape of a person sleeping when my wife got up to pee. It's not a good feeling to have your wife's face on the other side of your pistol sights. THANK GOD for Shoot/No-shoot training. Getting in the habit of target ID before firing probably saved her life.

Wow, that's scary. Glad it ended like it did.

Last year my wife woke me up in the middle of the night and said she heard a loud BANG in the house. So I got up and started clearing the house, and found nothing. Looked out all the windows and saw nothing. I told my wife she must have been dreaming and went back to bed.

Found out what it was the next morning... a can of biscuts exploded in the fridge LOL.

Had another event a couple years ago. Wife hears pounding noises in the middle of the night, dogs are going ballistic. Get myself together and make it to the main floor where a bear is out on my deck working the hummingbird feeder over. Next morning I find claw marks up the post it was hanging on where he climbed up to get it.
