2nd Amendment March Rally

To My friends

This Happened to a friend of mine just last night.

Read this it's pretty amazing. I think he made the right choice it could have been worse do you think? no names to protect the Innocent.

Here's a little irony for you... Monday I was getting over a cold/flu and asleep Monday morning. Today however, Tuesday morning the 29th of June. I was beginning to wake up to go back to work today. I am still living with my Mom until I finish the remaining work on my new house, so around 3:20 AM I start waking up and hear through my open window metal on glass scratching. I look outside, but can't actually see because of the angle of the sounds origination and my bedroom window. So I get up throw on a shirt, grab my Mossberg and my iPhone and go outside. I go out the back door, across the side of the house and stop at the side gate.

My middle brother's 1966 Ford Mustang is parked hood towards the street on the other side of the gate on the side of the house in the driveway. The car cover is thrown over the passenger side of the car and 2 youths are hard at work on it. One is trying to figure out how to clothes-hanger the driver side door open and the other is trying to open the hood.

So I have a loaded 12Gauge Shotgun in hand and a gate between myself and 2 assholes that are trying to steel my bros car. I did the old fashioned. "Chick-Chick" with my favorite home defense gun, turned the front mounted "Surefire" flashlight on, pointed my shotgun at the guy on the driver side of the car and yelled. "FREEZE!"

This kid turned in shock and looked at me, went white in the face, then went into tears and wet his pants. He started screaming and crying. "Please don't kill me, we weren't gonna do nothing. Please don't kill me!"

I actually kind of laughed at him and called his partner over. He comes over, same side of the car. I made them put their hands on their heads and turn around and kneel facing against the retainer wall between my Moms house and my neighbors. This fucking kid actually thought I was gonna execute them and just kept whaling on about it.

While they were knelt and their hands on their head, I went through the gate and grabbed my iphone. The damn thing was dead cause I hadn't plugged it in last night. So I told them to empty their pockets and let me see if they had any weapons on them. I was actually hoping for a cellphone. They didn't have anything on them other then wallets and keys and one of them had a pen. So I took their wallets and went through them.

They were both minors, brothers and lived within 5 miles of my Moms house and my new house. So I took a business card out of one wallet and wrote their names and address on the card with their pen. One was 17 and the other was 16, they were Latino and trust me when I tell you this. Not very bright. My brothers Mustang is in a cubbyhole on the side of the house and my youngest brothers truck was parked in front of it.

The Mustang is sitting low in the back and high in the front, which means the engine isn't in it. I think they wanted parts, but the thing is basically just a shell anyway at this point. It wasn't even locked. This kid was just that dumb.

Anyway I let them go with a very strong warning and a really bad nightmare, fresh in their minds. I wanted to call the Police, but it was early. I had no phone and I honestly didn't want to wake everyone up so early with gunfire or knocking on my Moms door with a loaded shotgun and 2 thieves in tow.

I told them if I ever even saw them again, I would make certain that they would be very unhappy about it and as I was putting their wallets on the trunk of the car. I noticed the 17 year old had a freshly laminated MCB Camp Lejeune ID Card in his wallet. So I asked the kid as he was taking his stuff back and walking away with his hands still on his head when he was shipping out to Marine boot camp and how badly he wanted to be a Marine. He turned and told me 2 weeks and that he had wanted it his whole life. I laughed openly at him.

He couldn't figure out why I was laughing and I told him as he was leaving. "You almost ruined your life and any chances of being a Marine because of a stupid car. Go home, clean out your pants and when you become a Marine come back and tell me why you think I was laughing at you."

Part of me thinks these two kids really learned something. Maybe a little bit about right and wrong and a lot about harsh reality, but I can't help but wonder how and or if things would have went differently if I had called the cops on these 2 dummies and ruined their lives on a first offense. I think this was truly their first and probably last endeavor at theft, so I am hopeful they won't return to it.

And yes the 16 year old pissed his pants and the 17 year old shit himself. Not exactly Marine material, but we'll see what happens. I would love more then anything to witness the conversation between those two on the ride home. The passing the blame, the smell and the sheer shared humiliation between the two.

Still this is why I love my 2nd Amendment right. That said, yes I should have probably did some in-depth recon first or maybe just called the Police. In the end though although my choices weren't all good or right, they were based in some form of logic and the best I could do at the time. So live and learn I guess...
