Last year I was home on a Saturday night and just finished watching one of those real life murder mysteries, when a man appeared in my front yard, yelling "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Now I live on a ranch at the end of a road, surrounded by other ranches, so this was pretty unusual. I chose to:
1) set my house alarm
2) call my neighbors
3) get my dog
4) open the window and ask what he wanted
He responded that he wanted to park his car at my house. Turned out he was drunkedy-drunk-drunk, and had no idea where he was. Then he stumbled off into the darkness. I went out to follow him, because if he passed out he'd be pig bait. Luckily my neighbors found him and were able to contact his wife. I'm so glad I didn't overreact and get my gun; I'm also glad it was there in case I needed it.
