This!

ggI can read just fine. I deliberately quoted that section because the person was NOT in the dwelling, but on the property.

So now you're a mind reader!?Assuming he pulled a weapon. You can split hairs all you want. Im sitting here at my home...not in jail. The "law" has already spoken with their "silence". Mercy is exactly what it was. If i felt compelled to shoot I have no doubt that I could prove the history of this guy and that I had a valid reason to foresee the situtation to show it was likely there would be harm to my girlfriend or I BEFORE I even raised my weapon.
You didn't prevent anything. If he wanted to shoot your girlfriend, he had the opportunity before you put your pants on!I do agree that I need to have more in depth talks with the girlfriend about scenarios at 230am. This person was no friend of mine and neither is his x-girlfriend. I have been constantly telling my GF that it is a bad idea to be around his x-girlfriend because of the history and surrounding drama that follows.
I feel I prevented the 230am knocker from even getting the chance to pull a weapon (when i reasonably believed he had his hand on one). One thing I dont understand among this thread is that the first words out of a police officer's mouth when a person has his hands in his pockets or coat is let me see your hands, sometimes while the Officer's gun is drawn and I didnt have enough time to get the police at my house last night because the situation was dramatically turned around not in my favor considering my GF ignorantly went outside (I did not know she intended to do this or I would have stopped her). So I disagree that I screwed up.
Keep up, common sense went out the window on the first page.If it is not a regular occurrence to have people stop by at that time if night, don't open door. Call police. "Talk" to person through the door. Have gun in hand but out of sight.
I find this a little funny. I just unloaded a few pallets of steel off a semi with the fork lift. Afterwards, I was outside talking to the driver....with one hand in my coat pocket, and the other just hanging.
I am SO glad the driver didn't pull out a gun out at me.
His hand was not in his pocket, it was inside the coat with the other hand not in a pocket or in the coat.
My apologies, but it still doesn't matter. He was looking for his ex-girlfriend, maybe he had flowers for her in an attempt at reconciliation. Since we're making lots of assumptions, why not? It's still not a reason to believe your life is in danger.
The perp knows I do not like him because he is a woman beating pieced of doo doo and he knows he is not welcome around my home. He is also scared to death of me because his girlfriend has relayed that to my girlfriend before.
Woman beating druggie bangin on my door at 2:30 in the morning, not sure how I would feel.
But if he had been an officer and walked outside and pointed his gun at him while telling the perp to slowly take his hands out where he can see them everything would be all hunky dory
You're reaching...
Yes, but not for my gun. What would an officer have done in that same scenario though?
