Let me first fill in a couple facts. I live on a 88acre tract of land that is undivided. I own 1/4 interest in this. My aunt lives next door but is currently in a rehabilitation center after having a stroke. I'm in the process of buying 2 other family members out of their shares.
Ok now the fun begins. I am asleep when a vehicle pulls into my driveway. My wife walks out to greet them but they back out of the driveway. They then proceed to my aunts house who is not home. They pull around behind her house, ( driveway stops in the front) and sit there long enough for my wife to come inside grab a gun, then get in her vehicle and drive down to my aunts house. As she pulls up the vehicle decides to leave. She tries waving and talking to the driver but he doesn't stop or roll his window down. My wife jumps back in her vehicle and blocks the driveway, gets out with her pistol at her side but very visible and demands him to stop. By this time I'm on the phone with her. I immediately run the 500 yards to my aunts house. He finally rolls his window down, states his name and says he's there to do an appraisal of the land.
I go home and get my SxS to take him around the property. As we are riding he proceeds to tell me how stupid my wife is for getting out of her vehicle with a drawn pistol, and that he could have shot her in self defense. This is while we are driving thru my 3 gun course. I try explaining to him that we are not a normal backwoods hillbilly family. We are big into the shooting sports and average 1000 rounds a weekend. He then tells me he served two tours overseas doing land surveys for the military and is very well trained.
At this point I text my wife and tell her to set up the 5 pop up targets in the back yard. As we pull back into my yard she is waiting with her favorite two 1911's, one on each hip. She hands me the timer so I start it. After 3 seconds it beeps for her to start. 5 shots 5 hits with the first, she holsters it and draws the second, 5 shots 5 hits with the second and I stop the timer. She puts in a fresh mag and asks him what he thought. He was speechless. So she then pulls the first pistol back out and tells him to watch closely. She never took her eyes off of him and put all 8 on the silhouette. I politely ask him if it was still stupid of her or maybe it was foolish to pull onto somebody's property unannounced. He shook our hands and left.
How would you have handled the situation?
