Last month I had to draw on a man in my yard.
I have a detached garage.
it is about 20 ft from my house and just behind.
It is much easier to get to from my front door.
I walked out to mow my lawn.
As I walked down my driveway.
I head something behind me.
There is a very junky pick-up truck coming down my driveway at me (slowly).
I quickly seen that they were moble blacktop sealers.
I wanted nothing to do with them.
I looked directly into their windshield.
I pointed for them to go back out.
After the third pointing.
They backed up.
I turned and proceeded to my lawnmower.
I heard a junky door open and slam shut.
I turned and seen a man walking down my driveway towards me.
I hastened into my garage to my 9mm.
I returned to the open door.
I just pointed it directly at his head. finger on safe.
When he realized he had a gun pointed at him.
He called out, "I am calling the police."
I said, "Go ahead."
That was repeated several times.
He walked back to the truck.
I sat down on my lawn tractor with gun pointed
An officer arrived.
He was in an unmarked car and I do not remember seen any patches on him.
When he got out of his car.
I rolled the gun on my finger and showed it to him.
Then I got off the tractor and put the gun on the seat.
The officer walked up to me and said, " I seen the gun."
"Thank You for showing it to me."
We talked about what happened.
I described everything.
He said,"You have every right to defend your self."
Then he went and talked to the people in the truck.
Then the county officer arrived. I live in unincorporated area.
We went over the whole story again.
Then the county officer asked if I went back into my house to obtain the weapon.
I looked him directly in his eye and said, "That would be stupid."
I have one out here.
He thought for a minute and said, "OH that is smart."
I found out later. They knocked down one of my driveway markers as they were backing up.
THE MAN JUST PRESENTED HIMSELF BADLY FROM THE START.
