[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3649688, member: 45773"] Reader's Digest version of a longer story... Guy I've never seen before shows up at my gun shop in a little mountain town in Colorado. My gut was telling me this guy was potentially trouble. Stella, my Jack Russell shop dog, ran around the counter barking her greeting as she did EVERY SINGLE TIME someone opened the door. Guy walked in, looked at me, I'm wearing a clearly visible 1911, and then looks at Stella. He cocked his right leg back like he was going to kick her. Before he even got his leg fully cocked back I'd drawn on him and told him, "You kick my dog and I'll kill you." He kinda froze for a moment and said something to the effect of he didn't need anything in my dump of a store anyway. He left...but I did mention, twice, that he needed to leave before he walked out. I decided I'd call the sheriff's office before he did. But, I got busy with a customer or a phone call or whatever. 10 mins later two deputies pull up in front of the shop. Being a former cop I knew all of them. Now, keep in mind, Stella was a local legend...everyone loved her. More people came into the shop to see Stella than for gun stuff. The Sgt asked me what happened and said a guy called dispatch and said I threatened to kill him. I said it wasn't a threat, it was a promise. I told him the full story (guy acting weird before he came in, noticed my gun, stranger to town, etc...), told him I had to ask the guy twice to leave, and also noted that he tried to kick my dog. I told him I felt if he was unstable enough to kick my dog I felt he was likely there to do me harm as well. The Sgt's wide-eyed response was: "Oh, s**t... He tried to kick Stella? That dude's lucky he didn't." I tried to convince him to charge the guy with trespass since he didn't leave right away when I asked him but the Sgt wasn't buying that. :anyone: [/QUOTE]
