I fully agree with you. There’s nothing that strikes fear into the heart of a burglar in your house quite like the sound of a shotgun being pumped.

It’s the only warning he’ll get from me.

He better have some really good hearing 'cause he's only going to hear the safety being clicked off here.

A friend of mine was awoken by his wife who told him “You left your car door open.” He grabbed his gun and said “No I didn't” and went downstairs.

Seeing legs sticking out of the open car door he chambered a round in his pistol. The stereo thief almost wet his pants!

My buddies wife called the police while my friend made the perp assume the position (on knees, facing away, hands laced behind the head). Unfortunately his wife didn't make clear to the Police that...

a) It was her husband who had the gun
b) the situation was completely under control
c) No need to shoot/arrest/or forcibly disarm her husband.

Luckily the cops were fairly understanding of the situation once they got there, but told his wife to please make the situation clearer next time. They told him “OK put down the gun Wyatt”.
