A bit of a scary yet funny thing happened last night to me and I thought I would post it and see if I jumped the gun a little bit or was right in my actions. Staff if this isn't in the right area please move it.
A little bit of background so that everyone knows why my buddy just came into my house. Today we were planning on going hunting early in the morning around 6:30am. I told him to come and wake me up if I was sleeping. It is an hour drive to our hunting land and we normally grab some breakfast before we start the drive. Also we do mess with each other quite a lot.
Heres what happened:
At around 4am my buddy comes over to the house and walks in (I told him to because I wouldn't wake up to the knocking and my alarm might not wake me up) He decides to come upstairs to the bedroom (the bedroom door was shut) and slam his hand off the door and open the door quickly in an attempt to scare me and my GF.
As soon as his hand slammed the door I shot awake, grabbed my 9mm and took the safety off. I aimed at the door as he was opening it. It took about 3 seconds for him to tell me who he was. I think it was partly do to him not expecting me to be pointing a gun at him. Once he said who he was I put the gun away and told him that hes lucky I didn't shoot him.
So my question: Should I have waited to find out who it was before drawing or would you have done the same?
