As all the legal troubles are over and i can breathe better i feel i can tell my story about literally being cought with my pants down. this happend about a year and a half ago.
At the time i worked seconed shift at wal-mart 4pm to 1am and slept most of the day as i did not get to bed till about 5 in the morning.
I was sleeping when i was woke up by a loud baning sound from my living room then the sound of glass smashing, i checked my servalence system, before moving to this location i lived in a not so great place and my house was broken into almost every other month it seemed like so i got a servalance system for documintation.
There was sombody in my living room i grabed the only gun i had ammo for and all i had was #8 for my .410 i then closed my door and called 911 wile speeking with the operator i told her i was armed and to let the responding officer know, i was then told by the operator to put the gun down and weight for the cops. i looked at the cam and the intruder at this point was comming down my hallway towards the bedroom, i then thru down the phone and yelled for the intruder not to enter the room or i would shoot he then yelld back where i could put my gun.
i could not belive this it seemed at this point time stoped as i saw the door knob start to turn and the door open as he steped in i pulled my gun to my sholder and pulled the trigger i swear i never knew a gun could be so loud, he went running i had missed i blew a big hole in my wall and as my shotgun was only bolt action i had wasted my shot.
he went running through my house and out the front door wile loading another shot i went through my house and steped out the front door as the cops pulled in i then relized i was standing in my front yard in only boxers and my gun in my hand, i thought the cop was going to shoot me at first when he drew his gun.
after proving it was my house and i was allowed to own a gun i live in IL i had to show my foid card. as we were getting ready to head to the police station another call comes in that there was a gun shot victum at the next house over the one officer ran over and a few min later a ambulance came. i saw the man who had just broken into my house had broke into my neighbors house or so i thought, it turns out it was their son who was just released for armed robbery 2 weeks before hand. it came out in the trial he did not think anyone was home as my car had been in the shop and was not out front. it seems i did get him just not in a big way he had 10 little pelets of #8 in his upper right sholder that he had to have removed.
The real kicker that still gets me is that he only got 6 months for parole violation. it took me 8 to get my .410 back. things i learned was to have something more other then #8 in .410 and to have something bigger and easer to load.
i hope never to have to go back through anything like this again. it is still hard to get over mowing the grass to look over and see him sitting out in their yard. i live out side of town and we have a problem with snakes i realy realy hate snakes so i wear my judge out to cut the grass and anyother outdoor activities on my property, i dont know how well the 45colt +p hp will work on the slithering snakes but it has shure kept the two leged one away.

Glad to hear this was not the case.
