So I'm out in the back of the house after dark unloading some wood for a project and decide to sit down and enjoy the quiet on my patio. Just got my feet up on the furniture and the tab poopped when I hear from behind in a booming voice, "HEY! WHAT ARE DOING BACK THERE! I turn around and my neighbor is on point with his hand gun! All is good after I say who I am and then yells to his his brother-in-law, (who was surrounding me with his gun drawn) "all clear".
Seems since my garage door was up, the Vettes were exposed and the light was on and my truck was not in sight, he figured I was getting robbed. I guess he is a good neighbor, just glad he didn't shoot first then ask questions!

Good on the one hand, but I wouldn't have had the guns drawn if I were them.
I'd have had one, though.
damn neighbors...good they're looking out for ya though
After getting broken into 2 weeks ago, I'd LOVE to have neighbors like that!!!
Good and Bad to have neighbors like that
Maybe they knew it was you and it was a training exercise.
Sounds like my neighborhood though. All of the guys around me are older guys, retired military and steelworker and don't take shit. I let them know when I leave town and I actually get reports of who came to my house while I was gone. I am retired military too but I am the baby on the block.
sounds like your neighbor is opening himself up , and possibly you to some serious legal woes... suppose it wasnt you, and the perp was shot... not your neighbors property, I assume you didnt contract with him to patrol your property. The dirtbag theif survives the gunshot and sues good sam the neighbor and you, living happily ever after on your hard earned dollars.... still the sentiment was in the right place if there were more neighbors like yours there may be less dirtbags willing to steal stuff
then yells to his his brother-in-law, (who was surrounding me with his gun drawn) "all clear".
Gonna put themselves in a nice little cross-fire, huh?
Maybe you suggest to them next time to just pick up the phone and call 911 if they're really concerned...
fine by me
My nieghbors are all in their 70-80's. I get reports but that is about it.
