They left with his .45acp pistol, probably more than they would've gotten from his car.
Probably giving them the ability to do even more serious crime...think of having that on your conscience.
That is why I have always been taught if you are going to show your weapon, use it. I wouldnt want to keep looking over my shoulder forever. Plus, its much easier for you and the police to fill out only one report, yours!

Great neighbor and good for you. You never know what you might walk into... like a punk thief with a handgun of his own....
People die every day for no reason.
Glad everything worked out in your favor!

You got that right. My neighbors are nosy as **** until something like that happens.
Another point to make is, say you were at home and caught these bitches and got physical.....you would get sued by them. What a country we live in.

Same here. I really fear what would happen if I caught someone in the act. Needless to say they would be dead.
