It's 2am and I get woken up by my dogs barking and for a minute I didn't think anything of it as a stray dog has been wandering around for two days so they bark at it.
I get an alert on my phone from my outdoor camera that stares at my truck.
Now it's a 07 Chevy Avalanche, not something worth stealing to most people but a dependable truck for me.
So from what I can see on the camera is some guy lurking around my back alley way with something in his hand and he goes to the truck.
This guy has a cut garden hose and a gas can and has started the process of syphoning my gas.
I throw open my backdoor and open fire on this asshole with a paintball gun and like every chickenshit thief he takes off running leaving his stuff behind.
(I had my handgun on me in case I needed it).
Today, I'm going to search for a locking gas cap.
I used a paintball gun because I didn't want to go to jail and deal with our unjust court system if I ended up killing the thief.
It has me thinking if it would be wise to stock small non lethal arms like that to detour petty criminals to save bullets for the real threats?
What do you guys think?
