My daily routine is pretty predictable. Usually up by 6:30-7:00 am (retired).
Strap on the J-frame or the Cougar 8000, grab a coffee, get the dog outside for his morning pee, run to the store for the morning paper, get back to read it and wait for the dog to start jumping around for his morning walk. This particular morning, the dog started barking while I was reading. I thought he was letting me know the kids next door were leaving for school but his "tone" was much more aggressive. I checked the front door, which opens onto a glassed enclosed front porch. Standing at the slider door was a woman who appeared to be in some distress. I got the dog calmed and made a quick assessment that the lady was not a threat at that time. She asked if she could come in and use my phone.......to which I replied "No".
She then stated that her husband was coming to kill her and she needed to use my phone. I responded with "where is your husband right now?" She gave me some location that is about forty miles from my home. She again stated that she wanted to come in to use my phone to call the police. Right then I handed her my cell phone and told her to make her call. It turnes out she didn't know how to use a cell phone and she had me dial a local number. The call was to her "mother" who she instructed to pick her up at a local party store. She was on foot and she left. I was ready at all times to protect myself by keeping my strong side away from her if the need to draw presented itself.
After going back inside and wondering what the H%#l just happened I began to think maybe I was being "cased for a future breakin". Any thoughts on this ?
