Last night was a long night. About midnight my wife and I where woken up by three gun shots close to our house, as we where wondering what was going on two more gun shots where heard about 30 seconds latter but a little farther away. Maybe a minute had past after the last two shots when we received a phone call from our neighbor that lives across the street whom explaned to me that there was a man on the street that tried to jump the fence of the neighbor on the right side of my house across the street.
He saw the burglar and told him to get a way from the house but the burglar disapeared behind some trees, and that is when my neighbor fire one round of .357 mag at the tree area, the perp jump out of his hiding place and then my neighbor fired two more rounds and lost sight of the perp, but seconds latter the perp fired back two shots of maybe 9mm or .38 from what I could hear.
Well on the phone he asked me to be alert in case the bg came back or was hiden in my back yard, I got up picked up My Bda. 380 and my wife picked up the Taurus 851. 38. and asked her to call the police.
I could see my neighbor and his sister on the porch of their house across the street thru my window, after I checked my back yard thru the windows I went out and found nothing.
I asked my neighbor if he had extra ammo and he answered he only had three rounds left of .357 so I gave him three rounds of .38 spl since I had some left.
As we where talking and waiting for the police he described in person the incident again and where the BG was when he fired the first .357 round, at that moment we heard some movement in the garage of the house the burglar wanted to assault, his sister called on phone the other neighbor a very old couple and asked them to turn on the patio lights and they did just that. My neighbor and I walked across the street to help out the old folks and checked the patio and found nothing.
An hour passed and the police never showed up, three phone calls where made one by my wife and two by my neighbor, after that we shook hands and asked each other to be alert just in case.
All this happened las night! as we went back to bed around 1:30am I told my wife can you imagine If we had to rely only on the police to protect our selves, what would we have done if the burglar had chosen our house and we did not have a gun, the police did not show up, so again I had another reason to own a gun. Thank God non of us was injured.
