[QUOTE="Muskrat, post: 3712898, member: 10361"] Back when my daughters were teenagers a couple of them decided to go night riding with a full moon out. They called me and said that a guy was following them in a pick-up. They were on the next section road from our house, and I said on my way. By the time I got my boots on and got to the door they called back and said that he had run into my horse's behind. By the time I got there he was making a run for it, and I chased him into town. He pulled up into someone's from lawn and I bailed out of my car with gun drawn. He came at me very aggressively and I told him to stop, he kept coming my finger went to the trigger and if he would have taken one more step I would have shot. he would have been close enough to touch me by this time. My wife was on the phone with the sheriff dept. and as soon as I heard the sirens coming around the corner, I popped the mag out of the pistol and ejected the round and layed it all on my windshield then stepped away from it. They pulled up with their guns drawn and asked who has the gun. I pointed to it on the windshield and that eased their tension. They arrested the guy and confiscated my pistol (CZ75 9mm). About 3 months later I hadn't heard anything, so I called the county attorney for my pistol back. I was told that you probably won't get it back. he said to come down and we would discuss it. We had the conversation to refresh his memory about the case and he asked me why I didn't shoot him. I figured a trick question, but I answered with I guess it wasn't his day to die. he replied that if it was his kid, he would have shot him and said he wouldn't have prosecuted me for it. He signed form to get my pistol back. Took my horse to the vet and she was bruised up pretty good but recovered ok. [/QUOTE]
