now it had snowed like non stop the past 4 weeks so the driveway was narrow and snow banks were about 10ft high. i blocked the guy in the driveway but he saw me and kept backing up. he almost hit me when i let him out. i park my car, walk to my front door two black guys come rushing out and push me into the snowbank yelling "back up or i'll shoot you" and other threats.

they take off in the car with what my backpack (my favorite one) i call 911 right away.. i shit you not, 4 minutes the first cruiser pulls up, 10:15 and there are 4 police cars and 1 "csi" truck.

I was truly impressed by their response. they didnt catch anybody, the thieves didnt even have time to steal much (i think they just grabbed some of my moms jewlery, and my bag with practically nothing in it.). but they did find a blunt outside on my driveway and some footprints in the house that they csi-ed


cliffnotes:
got home as theives were just leaving my house
first response got there in 4 minutes, rest of the crew got there in 10.

i think its mostly because of interupted invasion + gun threat tho.
4 minutes is not bad response time and I'm glad nothing bad happened but 4 minutes is long enough for them to put a new eye hole in your face.

I'm not saying there's anything he could have done.

Then again, he didn't say the guy had a gun. He just said the guy threatened to shoot him.

yeah i never saw a gun. they just sounded in a hurry and wanting to get out of there and saying he had a gun was enough to scare me.. and according to the cop i should NOT have been in their way, they were too big for me to be a threat to them anyway.

You shouldn't have been in their way? You were walking towards your house. :rofl:

Do you keep rounds in your mags Spanky? I don't because I don't want to wear the springs out. Don't they lose their strechiness over time?

Springs don't lose their pressure from static compression or decompression. It's the cycling back and forth that causes them to wear.

4mins is not bad. Here in the city they would have responded under 60secs n ur case. bank robbed by a homeless person the police respond like under 10secs lol I swear, I think the police respond faster to federal stuff like banks.

I think you were justified to shoot them "back up or i'll shoot you" and other threats.

Especially if they were advancing towards you while making threats.

in AZ if you shoot someone that broke into your home, you have to make sure they fall "in" your house h:
