So I was sitting in the living room a few minutes ago with the wife, daughter and her boyfriend. All the sudden I hear a gunshot like right by my house...I jump up and look out window and see 2 cop cars right as I hear another shot. By then I am in full combat mode. The wife and kids hid in bathroom and I left out the front door with my handgun, just as I open the door I hear 4 more gunshots. I walk to the front of my truck keeping my weapon in my hand but concealed, using the truck as "cover" between me and the gunshots. After a few minutes of just observing, I came back in my house. My daughter was on the phone with 911 and wife on phone where neighbor had called. 911 then told my daughter that it was an injured deer being put down.
I talked to one of the LEO's as they left. He was a nice young guy and said he was amazed it took him 6 shots to stop the deer. Apparently the deer got hit by a car a couple of days ago and they couldnt find the deer, well they found it today in a backyard with I imagine broken legs.
After this happened I got to thinking about what I did wrong in the "test". I probably shouldnt have left my home.....what if it had been police shooting with another individual how would the cops know I am not a bad guy?
What do you guys think would have been appropriate way to handle this? What would you have done differently?
Thanks
