For the FIRST time in my life, I put a 357 Magnum on my hip to go outside to get a log for the fire!

The cops had everything they had on the streets and in the air! Being a 'law abiding' citizen, I didn't have SQUAT to do with the police presence, but was not confident they could 'protect' me. I stepped outside to get some wood and a cop stopped by to ask me a question. I told him that "I live here, and was wondering what a helicopter was doing over my HOUSE"!!

My FIRST thought was that the 'new' neighbors were up to their crap again, but found out that it was just an 'armed robbery' of the convenience store across the street.
When the cops were checking MY cars, looking for the perp, I thought that I should put on the Magnum. (I did)
