Agree. I had to pull a weapon once when someone tried breaking into my home years ago when my oldest was about a month old.
Sheriff came and got him thankfully. Two calls to 911 with him down on the ground in freezing weather later, they finally came. It was after the dispatcher hung up on me after saying they were "busy" I called back and said forget the police, send the mortician I was just gonna shoot the guy.
Him screaming "don't shoot! don't shoot me oh dear God don't shoot me!" in the background helped his case.
Sheriff Deputies came from two different directions with lights and sirens blaring at 2am. Woke up the whole neighborhood 'cept for the wife and oldest son who slept through the whole thing. Go figure.
Yes, the dispatcher got fired after that.
I like your style.
Sounds like something my husband would do.
In our case, it was just the door to the garage popping open because it hadn’t been closed completely. Didn’t matter; he was out of the bed, weapon drawn, and moving through the house in an instant.
I’m glad the dispatcher was fired. They were in the wrong field.
