Cool Carry Thwarts Domestic Violence

摘要

I was in a small town working on a computer for a widowed client when her ex-boyfriend showed up drunk and let himself into her house with a key. I was in the computer/laundry room just off the kitchen and carport, and saw him at the door glaring at me as he came in. My client was in another part of the house, and he started screaming at her. She told him she wanted her house key back, and he screamed, "Why, so you can give it to this bastard sitting here?" I looked up, startled, and asked him politely not to call me names since I had done nothing to him. At this point I stood up, not wanting to get caught off-guard. He replied, snarling at me, "I am going to beat the s~(***) out of you, you son of a b~(****)! He lunged at me, and as he did he picked something up off the counter and put it in his right hand. Things were going so fast that I could not make out what it was, but it looked like a knife blade to me. That is when everything became a blur, and it seemed like a surreal dream! The next thing I remember, he was right in front of me. I was standing in a two-handed combat stance with my ATI Titan 1911 in Condition One. I looked him in the eyes and coldly told him that one more step and I would shoot!
