So my boss who has generally looked at my gun interests with nervous curiosity runs into the office today and says "I needed your gun last night!" This guy isn't hardcore anti-gun but he is a Democrat and I can tell from his demeanor he probably favors fewer guns and more gun control. Well he did. Now he suddenly has a different attitude. I guess standing face to face with a thief does that to you.
He said his dog went crazy in the middle of the night and when he went outside he interrupted someone shattering the window to his BMW. He actually had a conversation with the guy while he told his wife to call the police but the guy ran off before the police showed up.
He says if he had my gun he could have shot him. I explained that from what I heard from you so far no you could NOT have killed him just for breaking into the car and these were the types of things they explain in the classes I have taken. He says "I wouldn't have killed him, just shot him." GROOOOAN OK, we have some work to do here.
I said what I would have done is held him at gunpoint and had the wife call the cops. If he runs away let him. If he advances to you then you can shoot. He said yeah that sounded smart.
I think we may have a new BayouShooter in the making. I invited him to the range and I can tell he's thinking about it. Now before the bashing begins, he's not an idiot. He just needs some educating and help.
