The most terrifying experience of my life to date

[Puckstop31]

I'm not sure of the law now, but it used to be, that if Brian had fired at someone outside of the house, he could be charged, even tho that person was on your property. If the person had been inside the house, Brian would have been justified to shoot.

My ex always told me that if I shoot an intruder that is outside, be sure to drag him inside before I call the cops.

Correct. The law is rather absolute on a bad guy INside my house. Outside is a little more grey.

The big problem with THIS situation is, until I got outside I had no idea he was a cop. If I shoot a cop, I am at best in a jail system that hates me for being a "cop shooter" and at worst, dead too. That guy tries to come in, I would have shot him for sure, no doubt. IF I survive the repercussion of shooting a cop, I have a good case in court. Thats a BIG if.

Basically, I am just VERY grateful it worked out the way it did. Lessons learned to boot.

Wow-that had me scared just reading about what could have hapenned and I was thinking how terrified you would be if you were alone when something like this took place. Lucky hubby was home and he isn't trigger happy or you could be in such a mess right now and all because the cop didn't I.D. himself, how nutso is that?
I lost it after reading you were naked....sorry but I cracked up, settled my nerves though so thanks for that one......lol.
