The Night I had to shoot someone

The point in sharing the below  story is to show folks that I speak from first-hand experience when I share my views on the current hot button topic of gun control.  To be clear,  I support the 2nd amendment.  PERIOD!


After being awakened by a loud noise as someone came crashing  through my door, I reached for my weapon that was lying on the end table by the sofa where I had fallen asleep after another 17 hour workday. The person was holding a large knife.  Before he could get any closer (only about 10 feet) to me, I raised my weapon (Ruger P85 9mm) and double tapped (2 shots) at center mass of the man.  

As it turns out, He was wanted for various violent offenses in a string of  blitz attacks in the Baltimore area where I was living at the time.  On this night, He picked the wrong door to break through.

I am thankful that I had a weapon that night and had received  proper training & practice  in order to have the confidence to do what I needed to do to protect myself and my home.
