      Couple of weeks ago a car pulled up on the side of my house and just sat there. Sat there with the headlights off and the car running (it was night). My dog started looking out the window and acting a little wiggy. I picked up my 1911 (I usually keep a pistol on my coffee table when I'm up at night, after the kids go to bed) and opened the door, keeping the gun in my right hand behind the wall so that nobody could see it. I looked over at the car and there were three hispanic teenagers sitting there giving me the "tough guy" look. I glanced at them (didn't get into a staring contest) and turned around to close the door. The way I turned around, I purposely exposed my right hand before closing the door and I took my time going back inside. They got the message. As SOON as I closed the door, the car turned the headlights on, backed up, and vrroooooom. Gone.

            I'm not sure what them being black has to do with the story...

            But sounds like you were ready.

And if u answer the door they will just ask some dumb question or ask for fake directions or something...
              Just try to remember them so that you can describe them (and their car) to the police if any of your neighbors get robbed soon.

                Excellent response. Running into the yard with a loaded shotgun would have been a bit much, but the guy that ran across your lawn as if to gain entry through a side door or window would have been right on the edge of being proned out.

                    Are you being serious? Someone always has to bring up the race card. They were black, and that's how he described it. It's called being descriptive. If this happened to me, I would have said the same thing. If they were white, I would have said 2 white guys, etc..

                      Agreed. I dont think it was done in a racist manner.

                          I'm not seeing your point.

                          He didn't need to say they were black guys since it should be obvious that white guys wouldn't have been looking for Tameka?

                          You sir, sound like a racist.

                                Does it make him sexist because he said they where men too?
