I was home alone one night and happened to be cleaning my Colt Official Police .38. I was in my room when I heard a slight "clang clung." I dismissed it as being one of the cats playing around in the house somewhere, but a split second later remembered that the cats WERE NOT HERE. Having the cylinder of the revolver open I grabbed a speedloader from the bag, dropped 6 into the cylinder, went up front, started popping on lights as I went to the front of the house, toggled the front door knobb and realized THAT WAS WHAT I HEARD, somebody had toggled the front door knob. I unlocked and opened the door and went outside and walked around the house with my gun and found nothing. I assumed I had heard things, or that nothing was wrong and went back in. I found out later that even though nothing came of it at all, I should have notified the Constable just to let them know that there might very well be somebody prowling around the neighborhood.
Every now and then the outside sensor will turn the outside light on detecting movement (it's not supposed to pick up anything smaller than a cat) on a NONwindy night or we will hear a funny noise outside and I will step out with gun in hand to look in the driveway.
I typically keep my holster on the table beside me while watching TV or hanging on the bedpost next to me at night. It can sit in that holster from now to the end of time and it won't hurt or inconvinience anyone (no we don't have children), but it is there if I ever need it.
I'm just a guy who collects nice old revolvers and a few autos. Never had to use them against anyone.
