About 7 years back, wife and I were living in PA. Heard a knock on the sliding glass door of our apartment, some time after midnight. The blinds were closed so I couldn't see who or how many.
Ran to get my pistola and the phone. Wife saw me getting the gun, and followed me in hot pursuit. We stopped in the boy's room to find him comfortably and soundly sleeping.
Verbal challenge, they wanted to use the phone, said no, called 9-1-1, local PD responded, very helpful dispatcher on the phone, officers arrived.
I stuck Old Blue back in my waistpouch BEFORE opening the blinds, turning on the outside light, and going out to chat with the Lower Paxton Township officers. They were very nice and there were a couple really humorous moments in the conversation.
I related what happened, and I saw other officers talking with someone. The officer looked back at the person the officers were talking with and said, unable to hide a knowing smile, "She's known to us." I had to snicker, and he repeated trying not to laugh himself "She's known to us."
I said to the officer, "Someone knocks on my door after midnight, and I'm thinking drugs or prostitution and they have the wrong address." The officer was unable to hold back another knowing smile as he bit on his lip saying, "Sir, you might not be wrong." Cops will tell you a lot of information, if you listen and read between the lines.
I remember after getting my gun I checked the windows, in the master bedroom as well as my son's room, to ensure there was no broken glass or other signs of forced entry. Also remember that my daily carry Glock 23 was there next to my Smith .357 snubbie in the top dresser drawer, but I grabbed the snubbie rather than the Glock. Not really sure why I did that. Everything else I did was pretty clear and deliberate.
Not really sure if the girl was tricking, using, both, or something worse. I do remember in our "conversation" through the closed, locked door when I told her she could not use the phone, she answered, "OK, we're sorry." That "we" made me think there and then this was something more than a case of a mistaken address. I told the dispatcher this and I told the officer on scene.
