BRANDISHED A KLICK KLACK
5 months ago
Recently, i was at home, working on some paperwork on the job. I dropped what I was doing when I heard yelling and screaming outside. There were two people, a man and a woman, trying to pull another woman out of her car against her will. I yelled at them to take their hands off, but of course they didn't. The victim yelled at me to call the cops, so that's exactly what I did.
However, I was not going to wait around, which leads us to the KLICK KLACK...
I go inside, load up my 12ga shotty with some buckshot and a slug, stepped on my front porch, gave my boom stick a KLICK KLACK and told the perps to GTFO ASAP. The dude was yelling at his gal pay to get in the car, but she wanted to keep going even though all she could do was bang on the window of the car they were trying to get into. I kept yelling at them, flinging insults and doing everything i could as a man with a loaded shotty to distract and overwhelm the guy. All throughout I was thinking to myself "please just leave, don't make me use this...". I am so happy still don't know what an open stomach smells like on a rainy day.
They did leave eventually. After allowing my adrenalin to subside, and unloading my firearm, I went to the leasing office of my apartment complex to check and make sure everyone was alright. They all thanked me for my intervention and assured me the perps were both evicted and banned from setting foot on the premises. The cops did not even ask to speak woth me, they knew I did good.
So, why am I telling you this?
It's partially because I am still processing the event, but mostly because I want to encourage anyone who watches me on here to both arm and educate yourselves on the laws of your land. If it can happen to me, then it can happen to you. Hopefully you never need to use what you have, but should that time come you deserve a chance, to not be helpless to stop a bad thing from happening. If not a firearm then a knife, pepper spray, brass knuckles, a wool sock full of batteries...
Be safe y'all, and hope you have a lovely mother's day.

Luckily you didn´t use your force multiplier here, but surly helped to intimidate them, so calm down and enjoy the fact you saved someones live. Not many have the courage you showed today.
That said, I educated myself on firearms for years, practiced (i'm above average but i'd hardly be a pro haha), got a license to conceal carry (which involved taking a course on navigating the legal minefield you step into upon bringing a firearm into the equation).
More often than not, all it takes is brandishing a firearm to shut down the situation.
I'm glad for you and the woman you helped and it ended safely.
By all means learn the laws in your state/town PLEASE. Thats part of being a responsible gun owner.
I just found a less lethal and an effective alternate for others. Im looking into it for my mom, its called a Byrna launcher, its legal everywhere.
