At 2 am this morning I could have, legally, shot 4 people. Like most of us, I was sound asleep. My wife wakes me up and says that someone just came in the house. I didn't think too much of it as my son was due in at or about that time from his job at Walmart. Then I hear a couple of female voices saying "nice doggie", and talking between themselves. Now I'm totally awake. I told my wife to grab the phone and get ready to dial 911. I had it in my mind that this could have been my son with some friends. Or not because I did not hear his voice. I grab my SP101, throw on a pair of shorts, tuck the gun into the front pocket, and head downstairs. I got to the landing and see, standing around, 2 college aged guys and 2 girls. All were carrying beers. I asked them just what they were doing. They asked if this was Jim's house (Jim is a college student living next door). No, this is not Jim's house. 4 people immediately started apologizing and headed out the front door in what could only be described as a shambling hurry. Whew, situation defused. Firearm not brandished. Adreneline level skyrocketed, but managed. 4 drunk college students live to see another day. Police,paramedics, ambulances not dispatched. A positive outcome. I still shudder to the core when thinking about the possible consequences of this mornings situation. I am glad that I had a firearm, but gladder still that I was not forced to use it. This was a real dicey situation, it had the potential to go either way, but it ended up well. I hope I do not have to go through anything like this again. OTOH, it also goes to show just how suddenly a normal situation can take a sudden turn towards the worse when you least expect it.
