Hypothetically speaking of course...

Don't be shy, son, in my post above, I should have mentioned, I guess, that I was wearing a terry cloth wrap, a skirt if you will, and a holstered 1911.

My standard house clearing attire, except sometimes I forget the wrap and mostly I don't wear the holster, I just figured if I was going outside I would look less threatening with my gun in a holster.

A few years ago my neighbor's RV was being ransacked and the neighborhood dogs were raising a ruckus, which got mine all upset, which woke me up.

As is my usual, I was armed before I was out of bed.

On investigation I saw the criminals ransacking the RV, so I put down my gun and called 911. While I was talking to 911, they apparently realized they had been observed, and departed quickly down the alley (I had been shining my flashlight around the house and then the yard before I saw them and they may have noticed that.)

When the LEO arrived, he met me, and went and notified the homeowner (they hadn't heard anything and I didn't have their phone number and I wasn't leaving my property open carrying) and then came back and interviewed me, standing in my yard, with an open 1911 cocked and locked on my hip.

He never said a word except to comment that it was too bad that I was unable to stop them.
