Last night my wife and I were well... distracted when I heard the garage door slam shut! Immedeatly our eyes got the size of baseballs and she said "did you lock the doors"? I did not since we weren't going to bed for the night yet. My two dogs were distracted wrestling in the other room. Whe told me to go check it out so I opened the night stand drawer and retrieved my CZ-40b. I quietly racked the slide and made my way into the kitchen area. The lights in the house were still on so I had no need for a flashlight. The door was unlocked so I locked and latched it. The other two doors were locked. I then proceded to clear the house making my way through the guest room and closet, The guest bathroom and shower, then to the office and office closet, and finally the laundry room and utility closet. Thank God no one was in the house. As best i figure the dogs must have been wrestling and one threw the other into the door. I'm not suprised, they're pretty rough with each other. I learned two things last night. Always, always lock the doors when I come in at night, and if something does happen I can and will defend my home and more importantly, my wife. The ironic thing is that yesterday afternoon I decided it was time to refamiliarize myself with the Georgia state gun laws and the right to protect myself laws. I'm just thankful I didn't have to use my pistol.
