I guess it depends what they were on. If they like to smoke pot, it's one thing, if they were tweakers, they would probably be removed from my property with more authority. And yeah, I dont answer the door without a HD gun either
You were awfully cordial. My experience (3X) with Backyard visitors is they are NOT there in good faith, and best greeted with the business end.So, out of the blue, two junkies show up at our back porch.
Did he later "learn ya" how to attach them correctly?We were both spanked and the knives removed.
TeacherSmurf needs a light on her's too.
I can always go for more shiny accessories.
Oh you. A small flashlight is not as good as the diamonds, but, perchance, more functional. OK ... how about this, diamonds, and a flashlight attachment?
You all see it, your my witnesses. I get diamonds...Wait a minute, does this mean I will also be seeing a new gun in the house soon?
Stick with plan A; new house, same gun.You all see it, your my witnesses. I get diamonds...Wait a minute, does this mean I will also be seeing a new gun in the house soon?
Glad to hear everything turned out ok.
I had a incident last St. Patrick's day with this methed out dirt bag walking around my house looking in windows while carrying a pick-axe he had picked up from the side of my garage. He got a ride courtesy of CCSO.

So, out of the blue, two junkies show up at our back porch. The Smurf yells "someone's here!," I grab a piece, and crack the back door and ask what is up. I instantly notice they are both high as a fing kite. They said something like "yah, um, your neighbor (also a worthless druggie idiot) saw both of your properties are on fire and said we should tell you." I thank them and they took off.
I instantly thought it was time to hike up the hill to confirm/deny said report. The better half was concerned it was a ruse to get me away from the house. I handed her a 9㎜ and told her to call the Sheriff. I hike up a many acres hill with a Mossberg, with a light system, and a PPK in the waistband. I get up top and, guess what? No fire. The brain-dead crew spotted a controlled burn on the other side of the mountain. Neither of which is on my or his property. To make sure there was no further idiocy, I hiked down the road, ravine, etc., and confirmed no morons were on said. The better half did call the sheriff's department and was told they had multiple reports from idiots stating the same, to not worry about it, and ignore the impaired crew.
Lessons learned:
- Druggies are idiots. Wait, I already knew that.
- Having a shotgun ready to roll (loaded with 00-buck, a good light system, etc.) was a fine thing whilst hiking up in the dark.
- An armed society is a polite society. Well, normally, and this case probably so.
- Evidently the outside notification system we have on the perimeter has ceased functioning, so this shall be addressed on the morrow.
- I was asked to take the phone, I think I replied in the affirmative, but did not in my haste. Next time, the phone, or one of the walkie-talkies will go. It could have saved me getting all the way up the hill and finding nothing.
- I'm damn glad the sidekick can take care of herself. (I get back and I see her making apple-sauce cake for the lil' ones with a Walther 99 next to the stove. Bueno.)
- Anyone who snivels out "why do you need a gun?" is an even bigger idiot than the two that showed up tonight.
Most people who are acting in good faith (and w their respective marbles accounted for) would go to the front door, knock respectfully, then step back to allow the homeowner full view of (at least) their hands and face(s) before deciding whether to open up or not. That's not even conditional to area (rural vs suburban vs ghetto)... if not out of respect and/or courtesy, at least a modicum of self-preservation instinct.My experience (3X) with Backyard visitors is they are NOT there in good faith, and best greeted with the business end.
Totally agree. That is what I do when I knock on people's doors.Most people who are acting in good faith (and w their respective marbles accounted for) would go to the front door, knock respectfully, then step back to allow the homeowner full view of (at least) their hands and face(s) before deciding whether to open up or not.

Nice choice on the P99. My P99c just got put back into the mix as my winter carry. Today (off work, doing holiday bubblegum) I'll have the full-sized SW99 with me.
Cuz... 'Murica!
