I just watched the cops episode that came on Thursday night 8/28. It showed a cop who just got finished doing a high speed chase, and while they were still on the scene, he gets a call on a cell phone from his wife that she heard someone trying to break into their house, and she had locked herself in the bathroom. conversation kinda went like this:
officer: "Ok, lock yourself in the bathroom, you got your pistol?"
wife: "yeah"
officer: "ok, make sure it's loaded. keep the door locked"
wife: "ok"
officer: "Remember, keep your finger off the trigger unless you're going to shoot"
He stayed on the phone with her till a cop responding to the call got there...which was VERY fast. Man, I can't imagine having a loved one on the phone while someone is trying to break in, but I bet she was damn glad she had that pistol. Made me glad to own a pistol myself now. But my gf won't touch the pistol with a 10ft pole, not even to find out how it works. I told her the gun is gonna be useless to her if someone broke in, but of course she doesn't think break-ins would happen in an apartment. Glad I saved this episode of Cops, I'll have to show it to her. Kinda frustrating that other people out there don't consider using/owning a gun for home self defense until it is too late and something happens to change their mind :/
