A man once walked into my home thinking he'd arrived to "insert whatever realtors do". I asked politely who the fuck he was and why he was standing in my house. He mumbled realtor and something else, I don't recall, as I proceeded to my home office to get my bat. As I headed in that direction, about 10 paces, I instructed him that he should get the fuck out as I'm certain he was mistaken as to where he should be and that if he was still standing in my home by the time i reached my weapon, again a bat though he didn't know, I would take his choice as an act of aggression. It all transpired in about 30 seconds. The mfer left. I suppose I could have gone for my piece or a bigger piece, though it honestly never crossed my mind to reach for my gun. I have considered that moment several times. I suppose the outcome could have gone down so many different ways. I certainly could have blasted that dude. I didn't know his intent. He was already in my home. Imagine if had a history of being assaulted. I'm certain at least my experience may have played a factor there. It's hard to know. I reserve judgment without all the facts. If that were my daughter I'm not sure I would suggest she be as patient.
