It was the middle of the day. Who would be casing your house in the middle of the day?
$100 says this is a fictional post to get a rise from the board. Sounds too over the top.

I passed the car and slammed on the brakes, angling my truck to block the road......
Of course we are all thinking its someone casing our house... Of Course
My 20 y/o son is off on work due to a broken foot so he was backing me up from inside the house with his AR & ACOG, Mom asked him if he got away, he said no, Dad has him, and theres a sheriff that just rolled up too.

I worked afternoon shift Friday and right back in on day shift at 0500 Sat. morning, I was home at 1330 and asleep by 1400.
About 1630 my family comes in the bedroom and says theres a car out at the road and either looking thru binos or a camera at our house. My wife went out the front door and the car went down a driveway or two and turned around. This gave me time to get dressed and grab my G19.
I went out the back door and by the time I got in the truck, the car had stopped in front of the house and was now driving away. I backed out the drive (200') backwards in record time, did a "J" turn squealing the 20" tires as I drove away in chase....
I passed the car and slammed on the brakes, angling my truck to block the road...... Of course we are all thinking its someone casing our house, nope a lady in her 60s taking pics of houses on a couple of rural roads for real estate comps.... WTF broad daylight on a Sat taking pics in front of houses !!!
Anyhow, she showed me the list, had different roads with names, addresses, mortgage co. names etc..... she had her real estate id/ card.I told her that they should call ahead first and at least give notice of what they will be doing. She was just about crying saying you didnt have to chase me down and stop me like that..... yeah well family first, MINE !!! I had my sidearm holstered, not sure if she saw it or not.
Ironic thing was the first car stopped on the other side of my truck was a deputys charger, I walked over recognized him as he did me, I knew his Dad real well when he worked for the town police. Told him what happened, he offered to talk to her but I said it was alright just drive by slow and wave your finger in a "NO" motion.... which he did.
I doubt they will send a woman back out in the redneck rural area to take pics......

Very intersting, good to get the prepper exercise too. The whole family was on alert and involved, good to have backup.
I think you are right.
However living out in the country is a bit unnerving from personal experience. My wife once saved her own life and my infant son's from a couple of serial killers by being vigilant. The couple went a qurter mile down the road and killed the neighbors instead. I understand being proactive in this case.
@mbills2233 LOLOLOL
Not sure if OP trolling, or true story
Oh c'mon guys! It was alright since he knew the Deputy and his dad "real well".
If it was indeed a felony stop then the OP committed a crime. Everything about the post is stupid and full of false bravado.
I live and grew up in the country. Many times people use our drive to turn around. Not once have I ever thought of doing a "felony stop" on them. I suggest running your prepper drills in the back field and not on a public street.

OP
I just want to suggest to you that on Oct. 31St, just let the wife answer the door.
Not disputing the need to sometimes be proactive, but was OPs decision the best course of action?
Doubtful.
Vigilance can be in the form of a phone call - not Rambo Road Rage.
