LoL It is probably best to not yell at your wife. Unless there is good reason of course, even then though, I don't know.
That would suck to have the neighbors place all lie up all night long.
These were abused chicks. So, like all hours of the day, you had their abusive ex-boyfriends driving through, stopping, yelling, etc...
You'd have a dude and a chick yelling at each other through the fence FOR HOURS.
Then, we had the cops there constantly. At least once a day, the cops were there. Average that out, 'cause they might be there three or four times in one day.
Once, some jealous ex had lost his punching bag so he shot at the shelter. Several of the spent casings were on my side of the fence. He probably would have kept shooting but I ran outside and told him that he had 30 seconds to leave before I killed him. I had my fucking kids in the house. You're damned right, I'd have killed him.
Sure, in public my neighbors would decry my behavior, but in private they too thought it was funny.
Alas, I moved away before they finally shut the place down. I believe they ran out of funding and there was some embezzlement case against someone, but I was moved out by then.
Man, I haven't thought about this in years... That was so long ago.
Sounds like some pretty good memories.
Oh, man... Even with the shitty neighbors, it was pretty good.
At the very least, I had some amusing moments.
In the case of the dude shooting into the building, I think he fired a whole magazine and missed with most of the shots.
That and firearms don't really scare me all that much. The average civilian gun battle happens within 6'. They usually miss.
If I'm within 6' of you and you're not already pointing your firearm at me, I am pretty sure I'm not getting shot. Even in my disabled condition, I can take that firearm from you before you actually use it in any useful fashion.
For a knife, it's 21 steps. If your firearm is in its holster and I am 21 steps away - but armed with a knife (already drawn) - I win pretty much 99 out of 100 times.
Most folks are poorly trained with their chosen weapon.
